Honour to the Blessed Virgin Mary
We greet you, Holy Mary;
You are full of grace;
You are Virgin-Mother;
We ask you to pray Christ for us.
Every creature, O Mary, bows before you
for the Almighty has done great things for you indeed.
God the Father gave you heaven and earth
God the Son was subject to you in obedience.
God the Holy Spirit gave you the highest exaltation that God could ever give to a creature.
Thanksgiving for the Blessed Virgin
God the Father, I offer you the divine wounds of Christ, your Son,
to thank you as you deserve for all you have done for the Blessed Virgin Mary,
especially in her Immaculate Conception and in the exaltation which,
in your omnipotence and goodness, you have bestowed on her for your honour.
Amen.
