Praying
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, **
**O 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.
Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
**St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; **
**be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. **
**May God rebuke him, we humbly pray **
**and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, **
**by the power of God, **
thrust into Hell Satan
**and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. **
Amen.
The Memorare
**Remember, **
**O most gracious Virgin Mary, **
**that never was it known, **
**that anyone who fled to thy protection, **
**implored thy help **
or sought thy intercession,
**was left unaided. **
**Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, **
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
**To thee I come, before thee I stand, **
**sinful and sorrowful. **
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petition,
**but in thy mercy hear and answer me. **
Amen.
Luz Maria
