The Regina Coeli

(To be said standing during Eastertide instead of the Angelus)

Queen of heaven, rejoice; alleluia.
For He whom you did merit to bear; alleluia,
Has risen, as He said; alleluia.
Pray for us to God; alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary; alleluia.
R. For the Lord has risen indeed; alleluia.
Let us pray.
O God, who gave joy to the world through the Resurrection of Thy Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ; grant that we may obtain, through His Virgin
Mother, Mary, the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our
Lord. Amen.
