Saints LightRegina Caeli
A joyful Easter anthem to Mary dating from about the twelfth century. It takes the place of the Angelus from Easter Sunday until Pentecost.
The prayer
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. For He whom thou didst merit to bear, alleluia, has risen, as He said, alleluia. Pray for us to God, alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
Let us pray. O God, who gavest joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
In Latin
Regina caeli, laetare, alleluia. Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia, resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia. Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.
