Blessed are you O mother of God, for you carried in your womb Him who carries the entire Cosmos.

Blessed are you O holy ever virgin, for you are the pride of the human race.

Blessed are you O chosen maidservant, for you endured great suffering as the world rejoiced in receiving salvation.

Blessed are you O full of grace, for your life is a school of virtues for all generations.

Blessed are you O faithful patroness, for in you we find refuge and comfort.

Rejoice, our Queen of heaven, we bless you and exalt you.
