THE SALVE REGINA (Hail Holy Queen)

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, by the life,
death and resurrection of Your only begotten Son,
You purchased for us the rewards of eternal life;
grant, we beseech You that while meditation on these mysteries of the Holy rosary,
we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
