Pray the 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
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!
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Prayer concluding the Rosary and sign of the cross
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 on 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.
