R. Beáta / vere mater Ecclésia quam sic
honor divínae dignatiónis illúminat, † quam victoriosórum gloriósus Mártyrum
sanguis exórnat * Quam invioláta confessiónis cándida índuit virgínitas.
V. Flóribus eius
nec rosae nec lília desunt.
R. Quam invioláta confessiónis cándida índuit
virgínitas.

R. If a verity thou art blessed, O my
Mother the Church! The blaze of God's mercy beateth full upon thee; thine
adornment is the glorious blood of victorious Martyrs, * And thy raiment the
virgin whiteness of untarnished orthodoxy.
V. Thy garlands lack neither roses nor
lilies.
R. And thy raiment the virgin whiteness
of untarnished orthodoxy.
