Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you, serene Virgin.
You are blessed among women, an blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy, O Christ hear us.
Holy Mary, pray for us to the Lord.
O Christ hear us.
Holy Mother Mary, pray for us to the Lord.
O Christ hear us. |
Saint Michael, pray for us to the Lord. O Christ hear us.
Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael, All holy Angels and Archangels of God, pray
for us to the Lord. O Christ hear us.
Saint Louis, Saint Francis, Saint Nicholas, Saint Quintin, Saint Martin,
Saint Augustine, Saint Benedict, Saint Anthony, all holy Martyrs, all holy
Confessors, all Saints of God, pray for us to the Lord. O Christ hear us.
Blessed are you, Mary, sweet and godly Virgin, you outshine the lilies in
whiteness, o rose without a thorn, music of the Saints. O Christ hear us.
Amen. |
