The Hail Mary Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee! Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Salve Regina/Hail Holy Queen

Hail Holy Queen, mother of mercy; 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, 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. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
