Hail,
Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy. Hail my life, my sweetness and my hope!
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve! To you do we send up
our sighs; mourning and weeping in this vale of tears! Turn, most
gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward me, and after this, our
exile, show to us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus Christ!
Clement, loving, sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.
– Blessed
Herman the Cripple the
