O shining Mother of Christ, pouring forth the source of all grace, light driving away the clouds, most beautiful Mary. You who bear the intact Father, the virgin daughter, the renowned queen, the most chaste Mother. By your prayer, lift up this wretched and humble little people through your help, which lies bound by the chains of sin. O strong Advocate, drive away our enemy and remove all harm, and obtain for us the joys of heaven. To God the Father, to Jesus Christ the Son, to the Holy Spirit, the Triune and One Lord, be glory. Amen. Rejoice, Mary, mother of Christ, for by a unique privilege you were worthy to bear Christ the Lord, the light for revelation to the nations. Alleluia.
Read the original Latin
O Christi mater fulgida scatens fons omni gratia lux pellens queque nubila Maria venustissima. Gestas que castimonia intacta patrem filia virgo monarcham inclita genetrix pudicissima. Tua prece hanc miseram pusillamque plebeculam subleva per auxilium que iacet nexu criminum. O advocata strenua hostem nostrum extermina depelle queque noxia impetra celi gaudia. Sit gloria patri Deo Iesu Christoque filio spiritui paraclito trino et uni Domino. Amen.
Gaude Maria mater Christi que singulari privilegio meruisti portare Christum Dominum lumen ad revelationem gentium alleluia.
