Inviolata.
Inviolata.
.
Inviolata, integra, et casta es Maria,
quae es effecta fulgida caeli porta.
.
O Mater alma Christi carissima,
suscipe pia laudum praeconia.
.
Te nunc flagitant devota corda et ora,
nostra ut pura pectora sint et corpora.
.
Tu per precata dulcisona,
nobis concedas veniam per saecula.
.
O benigna! O Regina! O Maria,
quae sola inviolata permansisti.
------------------
Inviolate, spotless and pure art thou,
O Mary Who wast made the radiant gate of the King.
.
Holy mother of Christ most dear,
receive our devout hymn and praise.
.
Our hearts and tongues now ask of thee
that our souls and bodies may be pure.
.
By thy sweet sounding prayers
obtain for us forgiveness forever.
.
O gracious queen, O Mary,
who alone among women art inviolate.
