| SALUTO et veneror ac benedico vos, o beatissimi Parentes Dei Genetricis Mariae, Ioachim et Anna! vobisque intime congratulor de vestra gloria et sublimi illa praerogativa, qua vos Deus suae sanctissimae Genetricis prae cunctis Parentes elegit. Offero in augmentum gaudii et gloriae vestrae eiusdem Iesu et Mariae sanctissima Corda: orate illum et illam pro me, ut eis perfecte complaceam: gerite curam mei, ut parentes lilii; estote mei fideles in vita tutores et in morte dulcissimi consolatores; assistite mihi morienti, ut sacrosanctis Ecclesiae Sacramentis communitus, perfecte contritus totusque mundus de hoc mundo exeam ac recta ad caelum via perveniam. Per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen | I GREET, venerate, and bless you, O most blessed Parents of the Mother of God, Mary, Joachim, and Anne! I deeply rejoice with you for your glory and that sublime privilege by which God chose you above all others to be the Parents of His most holy Mother. I offer, to increase your joy and glory, the most holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary: pray to Him and to Her for me, that I may perfectly please them. Take care of me, as the parents of the lily; be my faithful protectors in life and my sweetest consolers in death. Assist me as I die, that, fortified by the most holy Sacraments of the Church, perfectly contrite, and entirely purified, I may leave this world and proceed directly to heaven. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |
