Ave sanctissima Maria, mater Dei, regina caeli,
porta paradisi, domina mundi. |
[Secunda pars]
Tu es singularis virgo pura.
Tu concepisti Jesum sine peccato,
tu peperisti creatorem
et salvatorem mundi in quo ego,
non dubito. |
[Tertia pars]
Ora pro nobis Jesum
Tuum dilectum filium,
et libera nos ab omnibus malis. |
