“O sinner, be not discouraged, but have recourse to Mary in all you necessities. Call her to your assistance, for such is the divine Will that she should help in every kind of necessity.”
-St. Basil the Great

Latin Lyrics
O sanctissima, o piissima,
Dulcis Virgo Maria!
Mater amata, intemerata,
Ora, ora pro nobis
Tota pulchra es O Maria
Et macula non est in te
Mater anmata intemerata
Ora. ora pro nobis
Sicut lilium inter spinas
Sic Maria inter filias
Mater amata, intemerata,
Ora, ora pro nobis
In miseria in angustia
Ora Virgo pro nobis
Pro nobis ora in mortis hora
Ora, ora pro nobis
English Lyrics
O most holy, O most devoted
Sweet Virgin Mary
Mother with love unswerving,
Pray, o pray for us
You are true beauty, O Mary
And there is no stain of sin in you
Mother with love unswerving,
Pray, o pray for us
Like the lily among the thorns
So are you, O Mary, among women
Mother with love unswerving,
Pray, o pray for us
In our misery and anguish
Pray for us, O Virgin
Pray for us in the hour of our death
Pray, o pray for us
