The Regina Coeli


During Eastertide, from Holy Saturday until Trinity Sunday, instead of the Angelus, the Regina Coeli is recited standing.

V. Queen of Heaven, rejoice, Alleluia.
R. For He Whom thou didst deserve 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. Because Our Lord is truly risen, Alleluia.
V. Let us pray.  O God, Who by the Resurrection of Thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, hast vouchsafed to make glad the whole world, grant, we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may attain the joys of eternal life. Through the same Christ our Lord. 
R. Amen.
