August Queen of Heavens
English
August Queen of the Heavens, heavenly Sovereign of the Angels, Thou who from the beginning hast received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech Thee to send thy holy legions, so that under Thy command through Thy power, they may pursue the demons and combat them everywhere, supress their boldness, and drive them back into the abyss. O good and tender Mother, Thou wilt always be our love and hope! O Divine Mother, send Thy Holy Angels to defend us and to drive far away from us the cruel enemy. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us, guard us. Amen.
Latin
Augusta Regina cœlorum, cœleste Superana Angelorum, quæ ab initio à Deo recepisti potentiam et missionem ad caput satanæ conterendum, supplices deprecamur te mittere tuas legiones sanctas, ut te imperante et potentiâ tuâ, ubique persequantur demonia et confligant eos, deprimant audacitatem et expellant eos in abysso. O bona et piissima Mater, semper amor et spes nostra eris! O Mater divina, mitte Sanctos Angelos tuos ad nos defendendos et longe hostem efferum expellendum. Sancti Angeli et Archangeli, defendite et custodite nos. Amen.
