Hail, 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,
most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit
of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin
Mary!
V: Pray for us, O Holy
Mother of God.
R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of
Christ.
Let us pray. O God, whose only begotten Son, by His
life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the
rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that
meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary
of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they
contain and obtain what they promise, through the same
Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
