Text and translation
Vespers II, Magnificat antiphon: St Clare
Salve sponsa Dei,
virgo sacra planta minorum;
tu vas munditiae,
tu previa forma sororum.
Clara, tuis precibus
duc nos ad regna polorum.
Hail bride of God,
sacred virgin, sapling of the minorites;
you the cleansing vessel,
you the predecessor of the body of sisters.
Clare, with your prayers
lead us to the heavenly realm.
