Ave sanctíssima María,
máter Déi, regína caeli,
pórta paradísi,
dómina múndi, singuláris, púra.
Tu es vírgo,
tu concepísti síne peccáto,
tu concepísti Jésum síne mácula,
tu peperísti
Creatórem et Salvatórem múndi,
in quo non dúbito.
Líbera nos ómnes ab ómnibus mális,
et óra pro peccátis nóstris.
Amen.

Hail, most holy Mary,
mother of God, queen of heaven,
gateway to Paradise,
ruler of the world, unique, pure.
You are a virgin,
you conceived without sin,
you conceived Jesus without a blemish,
you bore
the Creator and Savior of the world,
in whom I have no doubt.
Free us all from all evils,
and pray for our sins.
Amen.
