After the Rosary:
HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life,our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we sendup our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.
Let us pray. O GOD, whose only begotten Son, byHis life, death, and resurrection, has purchased forus the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, wemay imitate what they contain and obtain what theypromise,
through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
After each decade say the following prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those
who have most need of your mercy."
