Hail Mary

Hail Mary,

Full of Grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among 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.

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of

mercy, hail, 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 vale 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 merciful, O

loving, O sweet

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious

Virgin Mary,

that never was it known that

anyone who fled to your

protection,

implored your help, or sought

your intercession,

was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence,

I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins,

my Mother.

To you do I come, before you I

stand, sinful and

sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in your mercy, hear and

answer me.

Amen.

The Angelus

The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary:

And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed

art thou among 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.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me

according to Thy word.

Hail Mary...

And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary...

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be

made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into

our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of

Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of

an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to

the glory of His Resurrection, through the same

Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

The Magnificat

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

for he has looked with favor on his humble

servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed,

the Almighty has done great things for me,

and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear Him

in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm,

he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,

and has lifted up the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel

for he has remembered his promise of mercy,

the promise he made to our fathers,

to Abraham and his children for ever.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the

Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and

will be for ever.

Amen, Alleluia.
