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 sigh,
Mourning and weeping
In this valley of tears.
Turn then, 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.
Prayer for
us, O Holy Mother of God
That we may be made worthy
Of
the Promises of Christ. Amen |

Salve Regina |
|
|
Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae,
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes,
In hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, advocata nostra,
Illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
Et Iesum benedictum fructum ventris tui,
Nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria. Ora
pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix
Ut digni efficiamur, promissionibus Christi.

Hail Holy Queen
(Salve Regina) |
|
|
Hail Holy Queen is
a translation of the great hymn
Salve Regina. The authorship is
unclear and attributed to several holy
men. It is, however, clear that the
Salve Regina was used as a processional
chant at Cluny by 1135 and around 1218
the Cistercians adopted it as a daily
processional chant and in 1251 as an
ending to Compline.
Both the Dominicans and the
Franciscans also adopted it around this
same time while the Carmelites used it
in place of the last Gospel at Mass.
Used exclusively in the Catholic Church,
this antiphone is said to be a favorite
of our Lady according to the testimony
of those who have reportedly seen her in
visions, most notably, in a vision that
St. Dominic had. |
