Bonórum ómnium largítor, omnípotens Deus, qui beátam Rosam, cœléstis grátiæ rore prævéntam, virginitátis et patiéntiæ decóre Indis floréscere voluísti: da nobis fámulis tuis; ut, in odórem suavitátis ejus curréntes, Christi bonus odor éffici mereámur: r. Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen.

Almighty God, Giver of all good things, Who willed that blessed Rose, imbued in early life with the dew of heavenly grace, should bloom among the Indians with the beauty of virginity and patience, grant unto us, Your servants, that, following the fragrance of her sweetness, we may be found worthy to become a sweet savor of Christ. r. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen
