Tota pulchra es, Maria,
et macula originalis non est in te.
Tu gloria Ierusalem,
tu laetitia Israel,
tu honorificentia populi nostri,
tu advocata peccatorum.
O Maria, O Maria,
Virgo prudentissima,
Mater clementissima,
ora pro nobis,
intercede pro nobis ad Dominum Iesum Christum.

You are all beautiful, O Mary,
and the original stain is not in you.
You are the glory of Jerusalem,
you are the joy of Israel,
you are the great honor of our people,
you are the advocate of sinners.
O Mary, O Mary,
Virgin most prudent,
Mother most merciful,
pray for us,
intercede for us with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
