Hail Holy Queen

ail, 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.
Oh clement, Oh loving, Oh sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, Oh Holy Mother of God. That we may be
made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Memorare

emember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that


never was it known that anyone who fled to thy
protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to
thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not
my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
