A Salutation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

by St. Francis of Assisi

Hail, O Lady, Holy Queen, Mary, holy Mother of God, Who are the Virgin made Church, 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 fullness of grace and every good.

Hail His Palace!  Hail His Tabernacle!  Hail His Dwelling!  Hail His Robe!  Hail His Servant!  Hail His Mother!

And hail all You holy virtues which are poured into the hearts of the faithful through the grace and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, that from being unbelievers, You may make them faithful to God.

A Favorite Prayer to Our Lady

The following was the favorite prayer of Sr. Rita Foy, RC.  I share it with you for the month of May:

Sweet Lady, God’s Mother and mine, you can’t say you can’t, and you won’t say you won’t.  So you will, won’t you please, Sweet Lady, God’s Mother and mine?
