The Salutation of the Blessed
Virgin Mary
Hail, O Lady,
holy Queen,
Mary, holy Mother of God;
you are the Virginmade Church
and the one chosen by the most holy
Father
in heaven
whom He consecrated
with His most holy beloved
Son
and with the Holy Spirit
the paraclete,
in whom there was and is
all
the fullness of grace and every good.
Hail, His Palace!
Hail, His Tabernacle!
Hail, His Home!
Hail, His Robe!
Hail, His Servant!
Hail, His Mother!
And, Hail all you holy virtues
which through the grace
and light of the
Holy
Spirit
are poured into the hearts of the faithful
so that from their faithless state
you may make them faithful to God.
by St. Francis of Assisi
