The Salve Regina

[In the Morning]

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.

hail our life, our sweetness and our hope!

To You do we cry, poor banished children of Eve!

To You do we send up our sighs;

mourning and weeping in this vale of tears!

Turn, most gracious Advocate,

your eyes of mercy toward us;

and after this, our exile,

show unto us the blessed fruit of Your 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.

V. Make me worthy to praise thee, O holy Virgin.

R. Give me strength against thine enemies.

V. Blessed be God in His Saints.

R. Amen.

[In the Evening]



We fly to thy patronage,

O holy Mother of God;

despise not thou our petitions in our necessities,

but deliver us from all dangers,

O ever glorious and blessed Virgin.

V. Make me worthy to praise thee, O holy Virgin.

R. Give me strength against thine enemies.

V. Blessed be God in His Saints.

R. Amen.
