Salve Regina

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. Amen.
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ.



Salve Regina, mater misericordiae:
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus
exsules filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus,
gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos
ad nos converte.
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
(Iesus)
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis
Virgo Maria. Amen.
V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genetrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamur
promissionibus Christi.
