But of God

R. Deo gratias.

R. Thanks be to God. $raper* after Hon) fllatx After the celebration of Low Mass the priest, kneeling at the akar steps, says with the people the prayers which follow. " Hail Mary," three times. Then Salve Regina ail, 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 send up our sighs, 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.

V. Pray for us, O holy mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us Pray OGod, our refuge and our strength, look down with favor upon Thy people who cry to Thee; and through the intercession of the glorious and immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of her spouse, blessed Joseph, of Thy holy apostles, Peter and Paul, and all the saints, mercifully and graciously hear the prayers which, we pour forth to Thee for the conversion of sinners and for the liberty and exaltation of holy mother Church. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen
