Antífona mariana «Salve sancta Parens»: texto e significado

Salve sancta Parens

Enixa puerpera Regem
Qui caelum terramque regit
In saecula saeculorum.

Ps. 44, Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum:
Dico ego opera mea Regi.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

Salve, Santa Mãe

Tu que geraste o Rei
Que rege o céu e a terra
pelos séculos dos séculos.

Ps. 45,1. Com o coração vibrando de boas palavras
recito os meus versos em honra do rei.

Glory to the Father, to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
now and forever
and for the ages of ages.
Amen

Salve sancta Parens cantada por São Francisco de Assis
