Audio Chant: Regina Coeli

Remember to pray the Regina Caeli instead of the Angelus during Easter Season (i.e. Pascaltide). The Easter Season begins on Easter Sunday and lasts until the end of the Octave of Pentecost; as a result, it is 56 total days in length.

By listening to this video and following along, it is easy to memorize the Regina Caeli in Latin.


REGINA, caeli, lætare, alleluia:
Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,
Resurrexit sicut dixit, alleluia.
Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.

V. Gaude et laetare, Virgo Maria, alleluia,
R. Quia surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia.

Oremus

Deus, qui per resurrectionem Filii tui, Domini nostri Iesu Christi, mundum laetificare dignatus es: praesta, quaesumus; ut, per eius Genetricem Virginem Mariam, perpetuae capiamus gaudia vitae. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

English Translation:

O Queen of heaven rejoice! alleluia:
For He whom thou didst merit to bear, alleluia,
Hath arisen as he said, alleluia.
Pray for us to God, alleluia.

V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. Because the Lord is truly risen, alleluia.

Let us pray

O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; grant, we beseech Thee, that through His Mother, the Virgin Mary we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amazing. I was just wanting the words to this beautiful prayer. I hear it every day on our Catholic Radio station here in Omaha. I just typed in Google and found you. I think you've commented on my blog before or emailed me? Anyway, thanks for this. Now I can learn it, and in latin ~ Cool beans!
