Regina Caeli

V. Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
R. For He whom Thou didst merit to bear, alleluia.
V. Hath risen as He said, alleluia.
R. Pray for us to God, alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. For the Lord hath risen indeed, alleluia.

Let us pray.

O God, who by the Resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, didst vouchsafe to fill the world with joy; grant we beseech Thee, that through His Virgin Mother Mary, we may lay hold of the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ, Our Lord. Amen.


This prayer replaces the Angelus from Easter Sunday morning until noon of Saturday after Pentecost inclusive. It is also sung or recited at Compline with its verse and prayer during Paschal Time.
