Oremus. Deus, qui per resurrectionem Filii tui,
Domini nostri Iesu Christi, mundum laetificare
dignatus es: praesta, quaesumus; ut per eius
Genetricem Virginem Mariam, perpetuae
capiamus gaudia vitae. Per eundem Christum
Dominum nostrum. Amen.

Let us pray. O God, who gave joy to the world

through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His
Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting
life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The great seasonal Marian antiphons are four beautiful and                          ancient prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. They come from
the Divine Office, office of Compline, the last of the sung
hours of the day; and they are said or sung immediately
before going to sleep.

The Marian antiphons are “seasonal” because they shift
according to the liturgical seasons of the year. Each of the four
also has a simple tone Gregorian melody that accompanies
the Latin text.

When sung at the conclusion of Mass, only the anthem is
sung, the anthem is in bold text.

Day through Pentecost, the seventh Sunday after Easter.
