From phantom shapes that haunt our sleep, And evil dreams, make us secure. Defeat our ancient enemy, And from defilement keep us pure.

Alma Redemptoris (Advent and Christmas)
Sweet Mother of the Redeemer, that passage to heaven, gate of the morning, and star of the sea: Assist the fallen, lift up, you who cure, the people: you who bore to the wonderment of nature, your holy Creator. Virgin before and after, who received from Gabriel that joyful greeting, have mercy on us sinners.
