Sancta Maria, Mater

Holy Mary, chosen of God
Immaculate Virgin
Blessed is the fruit of your womb
Mother of the Son of God
Example of love and faith

Your extreme obedience
And a sword pierced your heart
But your hope remains in the Lord
The light of faith shines in you

Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Blessed are you among women
And blessed is your Son

Your love for the Son of God
And for all the children of men
Light and charity in darkness
An example of love and faith

The sword of sorrow pierced your heart
But your hope triumphed in God
Mother of mercy
In you the light of Christ abides

Holy Mary, Mother of God
Praise and glory to you forever
In you we rejoice
Our Mother and Queen of heaven
Amen
