祈禱文

萬福閃耀海星 (Ave Maris Stella)

萬福閃耀海星,
天主聖善母親,
且又終身童貞,
兼稱天堂福門。
Hail, bright star of ocean,
God's own Mother blest,
Ever sinless Virgin,
Gate of heavenly rest.
     
佳播天使口中,
獲得萬福尊稱,
奠定人間安和,
改變厄娃罪名。
Taking that sweet Ave,
Which from Gabriel came,
Peace confirm within us,
Changing Eva’s name.
     
解除囚徒束縛,
帶給盲者光明,
驅逐我人凶惡,
懇賜諸事安寧。
Break the captive's fetters,
Light on blindness pure,
All our ills expelling,
Every bliss implore.
     
顯示妳為母親,
主前為我代陳,
祂曾屈已降生,
定必慨然俯允。
Show thyself a Mother,
May the Word divine,
Born for us thine Infant,
Hear our prayers through thine.
     
卓爾不群貞母,
良善超越眾人,
釋我所有罪惡,
賞我溫良全貞。
Virgin all excelling,
Mildest of the mild,
Freed from guilt preserve us,
Meek and undefiled.
     
賞我終身純潔,
準備穩妥天程,
引我得見耶穌,
永遠享福天廷。
Keep our life all spotless,
Make our way secure,
Till we find in Jesus,
Joy forevermore.
     
榮歸天主聖父,
至高聖子共融,
永偕天主聖神,
同享福樂無窮。
Through the highest heaven,
To the almighty Three,
Father, Son, and Spirit,
One same glory be.
     
  阿們 Amen.
