We honor you, O Mary,
Mother of God,
treasure of the universe,
inextinguishable flame,
crown of virginity,
scepter of the true faith,
indestructible temple,
Tabernacle of the one whom
the world cannot contain,
and Mother and Virgin.
In your womb you enclosed
the immense and incomprehensible One.
Through you the Trinity is glorified
and the cross is celebrated and adored
everywhere on earth.
