Inviolata O.P.

The chant “Inviolata” according to the Dominican Gregorian chant tradition.

Text:
Inviolata, intacta et casta es Maria:
Quae es effecta fulgida caeli porta.
O Mater alma Christi carissima:
Suscipe pia laudum praeconia.
Nostra ut pura pectora sint et corpora.
Te nunc flagitant devota corda et ora.
Tua per precata dulcisona:
Nobis concedas veniam per saecula.
O benigna! Quae sola inviolata permansisti.

Translation:

Inviolate, whole and chaste are you, Mary:
you are the shining gate of heaven.
O kind mother, dearest to Christ,
accept our faithful hymns of praise.
May our souls and bodies be pure.
To you our hearts and lips cry out.
Through your prayers' sweet sounds:
grant us forgiveness for ever.
O kindly one! You alone remain inviolate.

Friars: Stefan Ansinger O.P. & Alexandre Frezzato O.P.
