Happy Annunciation!

In honor of Our Lady and the Solemnity of the Annunciation, here is the antiphon to the Blessed Virgin during the season of Lent.

Ave Regina caelorum,

Ave Domina Angelorum:

Salve radix, salve porta,

Ex qua mundo lux est orta:

Gaude Virgo gloriosa,

Super omnes speciosa:

Vale, o valde decora,

Et pro nobis Christum exora.

Hail, Queen of heaven,

hail Lady of the angels.

Hail root and gate from which the Light of the world was born.

Rejoice glorious Virgin,

fairest of all.

Fare thee well, most beautiful,

and pray for us to Christ.
