祈禱文

萬福閃耀海星 (Ave Maris Stella)

一 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.
     
二 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.
     
三 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.
     
四 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.
     
五 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.
     
六 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.
     
七 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.
