MOST SAY PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN DURING BENEDICTION Composed by Pope Leo XIII 

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed

art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb,

 Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now,

and at the hour of our death. AMEN

 

O blessed Virgin Mary,

Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother,

look down in mercy upon England thy “Dowry”

and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee.

By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world;

and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more.

Plead for us thy children,

whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother.

Intercede for our separate brethren,

that with us in the one true fold

they may be united to the supreme Shepherd,

the Vicar of thy Son.

Pray for us all, dear Mother,

that by faith fruitful in good works

we may all deserve to see and praise God,

together with thee, in our heavenly home. Amen.

 

Glory be, to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

a world without end. AMEN
