O Maria
O Mary
O María, Virgo et Mater sanctíssima, ecce, suscépi dilectíssimum Fílium tuum,
O Mary, Virgin and Most Holy Mother, behold I have received Your Most Beloved Son,
quem immaculáto útero tuo concepísti, genuísti, lactásti, atque suávissimis ampléxibus strinxísti.
whom you conceived in your womb, bore, suckled and bound with the most gentle embraces.
Ecce, cuius aspéctu lætabáris et ómnibus delíciis replebáris,
Behold I humbly and lovingly bring back and offer to you that very One,
illum ipsum tibi humíliter et amánter repræsénto et óffero tuis bráchiis constringéndum,
at whose sight you used to rejoice and be filled with every delight,
tuo corde amándum, sanctissimæque Trinitáti in suprémum latríæ cultum,
so that you may bind Him fast with your arms, love Him with your Heart, and offer Him to the Most Holy Trinity as a supreme act of worship,
pro tui ipsíus honóre et glória et pro meis totiúsque mundi necessitátibus, offeréndum.
for the sake of your very honor and glory and my own necessities and those of the whole world.
Rogo ergo te, piíssima Mater, ímpetra mihi véniam ómnium peccatórum meórum,
Therefore I beg you, most faithful Mother, by your asking, obtain for me the pardon of all my sins,
uberémque grátiam ipsi deínceps fidélius serviéndi, ac deníque grátiam finálem,
and abundant grace to serve Him every more faithfully, and at last the final grace,
ut eum te cum laudáre possim per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
so that I might be able to praise Him with you forever and ever. Amen.
