Ave, divina

Aphrodite,

Amor et pulchritudo maxima,

Quae cunctas terras et maria regis,

Te mane invoco, te adoro.

O dea formosissima,

Quae in cordibus hominum habitat,

Da mihi pulchritudinem intus

et in exterius,

Ut splendorem tuum reflectam.

Per tuae gratiae potentiam,

Coniungo animam meam cum amore

et harmonia,

Ut mihi concedas verum amorem

in vita mea,

Et ut pacem et felicitatem semper teneam.

In tua praesentia,

O divina Venus,

Laetus et confidenter exsisto,

Meae vocis suavitatem dona,

Ut cunctos qui me audiunt afficiam.

O Aphrodite,

domina amoris,

Audi meam precatio matutinam,

Et benevolentiam tuam mihi impertire,

Ut omnes dies mei pleni sint dilectione

et gratia.

Amen.
