“Inviolata es Maria” is an traditional Gregorian chant in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This composition goes back to 11th century.
| INVIOLATA, integra, et casta es Maria, quae es effecta fulgida caeli porta. | INVIOLATE, spotless and pure art thou, O Mary Who wast made the radiant gate of Heaven. |
| O Mater alma Christi carissima, suscipe pia laudum praeconia. | Holy mother of Christ most dear, receive our devout hymn and praise. |
| Te nunc flagitant devota corda et ora, nostra ut pura pectora sint et corpora. | Our hearts and tongues now ask of thee that our souls and bodies may be pure. |
| Tua per precata dulcisona, nobis concedas veniam per saecula. | By thy sweet sounding prayers obtain for us forgiveness forever. |
| O benigna! O Regina! O Maria, quae sola inviolata permansisti. | O benevolent! O Queen! O Mary, who alone among women art inviolate. |
From Fr. Adrian Fortescue (1874-1923).
