Regina Caeli

Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia, has risen as He said, alleluia. Pray for us to God, alleluia. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia, for the Lord has truly risen, alleluia. O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
