The Litany of the Blessed Virgin

During Advent

℣ The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
℟ And she conceived by the Holy Ghost.

Let us pray. Pour fourth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an Angel, may, by His Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord.

℟ Amen.

From Christmas to the Purification

℣ After childbirth thou didst remain a pure Virgin.
℟ Intercede for us, O Mother of God.

Let us pray. O God, Who by the fruitful virginity of blessed Mary, hast given to mankind the rewards of eternal salvation; grant, we beseech Thee, that we may experience her intercession for us, through whom we have deserved to receive the Author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

℟ Amen.

In Paschal Time

℣ Rejoice and be Glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
℟ For the Lord hath risen indeed, alleluia.

Let us pray. O God, who didst vouchsafe to give joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ: grant, we beseech Thee, that through His Mother, the Virgin Mary, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord.

℟ Amen.

From the Purification to Easter and after Pentecost

℣ Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
℟ That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. Grant that we Thy servants, Lord, may enjoy unfailing health of mind and body, and through the prayers of the ever blessed Virgin Mary in her glory, free us from our sorrows in this world and give us eternal happiness in the next. Through Christ our Lord.

℟ Amen.
