SALVE MATER MISERICORDIAE,
MATER DEI ET MATER VENIAE,
MATER SPEI ET MATER GRATIAE,
MATER PLENA SANCTAE LAETITIAE,
O MARIA.


SALVE FELIX VIRGO PUERPERA:
NAM QUI SEDET IN PATRIS DEXTERA,
CAELUM REGENS, TERRAM ET AETHERA,
INTRA TUA SE CLAUSIT VISCERA,
O MARIA.


ESTO MATER NOSTUM SOLACIUM;
NOSTRUM ESTO TU VIRGO GAUDIUM;
ET NOS TANDEM POST HOC EXSILIUM,
LAETOS IUNGE CHORIS CAELESTIUM,
O MARIA.



Hail, mother of mercy, mother of God, and
mother of pity, mother of hope, and mother
of grace, mother full of holy joy, O Mary.

Hail, happy virgin and mother. For he who
sits at the Father's right hand, ruling heaven,
earth and sky was borne in thy womb, O Mary.

Mother, be our comfort; Virgin, be our joy;
and may we after this exile join thee among
the choirs of heaven, O Mary.

- Hymn of the Carmelites
