Ave maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.
Amen.


Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. You are blessed among women, and blessed is Jesus, the fruit of your womb.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
