 Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our Life, our
Sweetness, and our Hope.  To Thee do we cry, poor
banished

 Rosary Prayer
(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.

thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful

thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
