The Armor of God
Reflections and Prayers for Wartime
CHAPTER IX
The Blessed Mother
SALVE REGINA
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 send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale 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.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
