THE CATHOLIC PRAYER COLLECTION
Hail Holy Queen
Turn to Mary, Mother of Mercy, with the Church’s ancient prayer of hope and ask her to lead us to Jesus.
English
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 toward 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.
Amen.

Latin · Salve Regína
Salve, Regína, Mater misericórdiae,
vita, dulcédo et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamámus, éxsules fílii Evae.
Ad te suspirámus, geméntes et flentes
in hac lacrimárum valle.
Eia ergo, advocáta nostra,
illos tuos misericórdes óculos ad nos convérte.
Et Iesum, benedíctum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsílium osténde.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo María.
Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Génetrix.
Ut digni efficiámur promissiónibus Christi.
Amen.
