HAIL to
thee, purest, holiest Mother of JESUS. We humbly pray thee, by thy predestination,
whereby thou wast even from all eternity elected Mother of GOD ; by thy
Immaculate Conception, whereby thou wast conceived without stain of original
sin; by thy most perfect resignation, whereby thou wast ever conformed to the
will of GOD; and, lastly, by thy consummate holiness, whereby throughout thy
whole life thou didst never commit one single fault : we pray thee to become
our advocate with our LORD, that He may pardon our many sins, which are the
cause of his wrath. And thou, O FATHER Almighty, by the merits of these
privileges vouchsafed to this thy well-beloved Daughter, hear her supplications
for us, and pardon us, her clients.

Annunciation, when thou didst conceive the Divine Word in thy womb ; by thy

virginity, which thou didst unite with the fruitfulness of a mother; and,
lastly, by the bitter martyrdom which thou didst undergo in our SAVIOUR’S
death: we pray thee to become our mediatrix, that we may reap the fruit of the
Precious Blood of thy Son. And Thou, O Divine Son, by the merit of these
privileges granted to thy well-beloved Mother, hear her supplications, and
pardon us, her clients.

thee, purest, holiest Mother of JESUS. We humbly pray thee, by the joys which
thou didst feel in thy heart at the Resurrection and Ascension of JESUS CHRIST;
by thy Assumption into Heaven, whereby thou wast exalted above all the Choirs
of the Angels ; by the glory which GOD has given thee to be Queen of all
saints; and, lastly, by that most powerful intercession, where by thou art able
to obtain all that thou dost desire: we pray thee, obtain for us true love of
GOD. And Thou, O HOLY SPIRIT, by the merits of these privileges of thy
well-beloved Spouse, hear her supplications, and pardon us her clients. Amen.

bestowed the blessing, and, confounding death, gave unto us eternal life.

to the FATHER for us, whose SON JESUS, conceived by the HOLY GHOST, thou didst

Let us
pray
GOD of
mercy, GOD of pity, GOD of tenderness, who, pitying the affliction of thy
people, didst say to the angel smiting them, "Withhold thy hand"; for
the love of thy glorious Mother, at whose precious breast thou didst sweetly
find an antidote to the venom of our sins, bestow on us the help of thy grace,
that we may be freed from all evil, and mercifully protected from every onset
of destruction. Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.
