Prayer to the Mother of God

Hail, O Mary, Mother of God,
Virgin and Mother! Morning Star, perfect vessel.
Hail, O Mary, Mother of God,
Holy Temple in which God himself was conceived.
Hail, O Mary, Mother of God,
Chaste and pure dove.
Hail, O Mary, Mother of God,
Who enclosed the one who cannot be encompassed
in your sacred womb.
Hail, O Mary, Mother of God,
Through you the Conqueror and triumphant Vanquisher of hell
came to us.
Hail, O Mary, Mother of God,
Through you the glory of the Resurrection blossoms.
Hail, O Mary, Mother of God,
You have saved every faithful Christian.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Saint Cyril of Alexandria
