«Ave Regina coelorum»: The Medieval Marian Antiphona, Its Place in the Liturgy of the Hours, and the *Marialis Cultus* of Paul VI (1974)

Ave Regina Coelorum
Ave Domina angelorum
Hail, Queen of Heaven,
Hail, Lady of the Angels,
From whom the world has received light
Rejoice, glorious Virgin
Above all others beautiful
Hail, most lovely
And pray for us to Christ.
Hail, Queen of Heaven.
Hail, Lady of the Angels.
Hail, Root.
Hail, Door.
Through whom the light was born to the world
Rejoice, glorious Virgin
Among all others, the fairest.
Hail, radiant splendor.
And pray for us to Christ.
The Marian Antiphona sung by Saint Francis of Assisi
