Consider that Mary is glorious in heaven, because She is
constituted Queen of the universe, and there receives a
continual tribute of praise and veneration from the innu-
merable multitude of Angels and Saints of Paradise. Let us
go respectfully to the foot of Her Majesty’s throne, and
beseech Her, saying:
O Queen, sovereign of the universe! who, by Thy incomparable
merits, have been raised to such a high degree of glory in heaven,
look upon our miseries with an eye of compassion, and lead us by
the gentle influence of Your protection.
Hail Mary…
O Queen, sovereign of the universe! who continually receives the
homage of the heavenly court, deign to be our advocate, we
beseech You; let our prayers be offered to You with the respect
due to Your greatness.
Hail Mary…
O Queen, sovereign of the universe! by the glory that befits You
from Your eminent place in heaven, deign to admit us to the
number of Your servants, and obtain for us the grace to faithfully
keep the commandments of the Lord our God.
Hail Mary…
Let us share the delight of the Angels in seeing Mary elevated to
such great glory; let us rejoice in recognizing Her as Queen of the
universe, and let us say, with the Principalities, the seventh chorus
of heavenly spirits:
3 Hail Mary’s…
Let Us Pray. We pray Thee, O Lord, to forgive the sins of Thy
servants, so that, unable to please Thee by our actions, we may be
saved by the intercession of the Mother of Thy Son Our Lord.
Amen.
