Marian antiphon: “Ave Regina coelorum”
“Ave Regina coelorum”: the medieval Marian antiphon, its place in the Liturgy of the Hours, and the marialis cultus of Paul VI (1974)
| Ave Regina Coelorum Ave Domina angelorum Salve radix, salve porta Ex qua mundo lux est orta Gaude virgo gloriosa Super omnes speciosa Salve, o valde decora Et pro nobis Christum exora | Hail, Queen of Heaven. Hail, Lady of the Angels. Hail, Root. Hail, Gate. Through whom the light dawned upon the world Rejoice, O glorious Virgin most beautiful of all. Hail, radiant Splendor. And pray to Christ for us. |
The antiphon “Ave Regina coelorum” and its place in the devotion and in the liturgy of the Church are contemplated by Paul VI in the apostolic exhortation Marialis Cultus, which values these prayers as an authentic expression of the Marian faith of the Christian people.
