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 
     meditating 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.
