Mente tota tibi supplicamus
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Mente tota tibi supplicamus,
ut sicut Filio tuo
Domino nostro Jesu Christo
aliquando displicuimus,
modo vice versa immutatis moribus
per te usque in finem ei complaceamus.
Preces nostras, Virgo mirabilis,
ideo ne despicias quia ore indigno
nomen sanctum tuum
invocare praesumimus:
Sancta Maria,
ora pro nobis;
sancta Dei genitrix,
ora pro nobis;
sancta Virgo virginum,
intercede pro nobis.

With our whole soul we beg
Language: English  after the Latin
With our whole soul we beg you
That just as we sometimes displease
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
So on the contrary
with changed ways
Through you we can please him until the end.
Do not despise our prayers
Wonderful virgin, because
with our unworthy mouths
We presume to call on your holy name:
Holy Mary
Pray for us;
Holy mother of God,
Pray for us;
Holy Virgin of virgins,
Intercede for us.
