| Ave Maria gratia plena Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus Christus Filius Dei vivi. Et benedicta sint beata ubera tua quae lactaverunt regem regum, et Dominum Deum nostrum. |
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus Christ, son of the living God. And blessed be your happy breasts that nursed the king of kings and the Lord our God. |
