Salve Regina

Hail, Holy Queen

Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, O Most Gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,Jesus. O clement, o loving, o sweet Virgin Mary; pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

O GOD, Whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, hath purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that, while meditating upon these mysteries of the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may both imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

May the divine assistance be always with us. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of GOD, rest in peace. Amen.

Remember,

O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins. To thee do we come, before thee we stand, both sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer us. Amen.
