Blessed are you, queen of heaven,
And mistress of the whole world
And cure for the sick.
You are called the famous star of the sea,
You who bore the sun of justice
By whom you are illuminated.
God the Father, that you might be
The mother of God and He your brother,
Whose daughter you are also,
Made you holy and preserved you holy
And sending [his messenger] thus greeted you :
Hail, full of grace.

Through that greeting, 
And your gracious reply,
Was brought forth from you the Word incarnate,
By whom everything is saved.

Now o mother, pray to your son
That he may take away our guilt
And grant the kingdom prepared for us
In our heavenly homeland.
Amen.
