Salve Regina – Hail, Holy Queen!

Salve Regina – Hail, Holy Queen!

This beautiful prayer to Mary, officially sung before the 12th century, was enriched by Saint Bernard, who added the last three exclamations: “O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.”

Hail, 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,
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!

  • Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
    That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray: Almighty and eternal God, who through the cooperation of the Holy Ghost, didst prepare the body and soul of the glorious Virgin Mother Mary to be a fit dwelling-place for Thy Son, as we celebrate Her memory with joy, grant that through Her motherly intercession, we may be preserved from evil in this world and from eternal death. Through the same Christ, our Lord.
R/Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
