O God, eternal Majesty, whose ineffable word, when the angel announced,
Virgo immaculáta suscépit, et, domus divinitátis effécta,

Sancti Spíritus luce replétur,
filled with the light of the Holy Spirit,
quǽsumus, ut nos, ejus exémplo,
grant, we pray, that by her example
voluntáti tuæ humíliter adhærére valeámus.
we may in humility hold fast to your will.
Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
Through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
for ever and ever.
