Tota Pulchra
| Tota pulchra es Maria, et macula originalis non es in te. Tu gloria Ierusalem, tu laetitia Israel, tu honorificentia populi nostri, tu advocata peccatorum. O Maria! O Maria! Virgo prudentissima, Mater clementissima, ora pro nobis, intercede pro nobis, ad Dominum Iesum Christum. |
You are all beautiful, Mary, and the stain of original sin is not in you. You are the glory of Jerusalem, you are the joy of Israel, you give honour to our people. You are an advocate of sinners. O Mary, Virgin most intelligent, Mother most merciful. Pray for us, Plead for us, To the Lord Jesus Christ. |
 |
Pray for us, plead for us, to the Lord Jesus Christ. What other voice is promptly listened to by your Son Jesus? Oh Mother, your voice alone can obtain everything from your Son because no other creature loved Him with such purity or great affection. Therefore, we ask you to pray for us, oh Mother, to insist before the throne of the Most High for all the intentions of the earthly pilgrims and the salvation of the souls in Purgatory. |
Prayer
O, Immaculate Virgin Mother, shining light that radiates sanctity and purity, you had no sooner been conceived than you adored God and thanked Him for your singular grace. By this grace, God released man from the ancient curse and allowed His benediction to flow down on the sons of Adam. Oh Mary, enable this blessing to ignite the love of God in our hearts so that one day we can live with Him eternally in
Heaven. Hail Mary.
Lord God you prepared a worthy dwelling place for your Son by the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin; grant, we pray, that as you preserved her from all stain of sin in your foreknowledge of His death, so we, by her intercession, may come to you with pure hearts. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
