Dedications to Our Lady

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Salve Regina

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 send up 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!

The Memorare to the Blessed Virgin

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, 

implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. 

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, 

O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. 

To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. 

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, 

but in your mercy hear and answer me. 

Amen.

The Magnificat

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:

the Almighty has done great things for me,

and holy is His Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him 

in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm,

he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,

and has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel

for he has remembered his promise of mercy,

the promise he made to our fathers,

to Abraham and his children forever.

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

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.

Amen.

To Our Lady of Fatima

O Most Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the most holy Rosary, you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima and reveal a glorious message. We implore you, inspire in our hearts a fervent love for the recitation of the Rosary. By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption that are recalled therein may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer.

Novena prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

O Mary, who appeared to Bernadette in the cold of winter in the hollow of a rock, you brought to her the warmth of a presence and the light of beauty and grace. In the hollow of our obscure lives, in the hollow of this world where evil is strong, bring hope, give more trust. Give us the courage of conversion, the humility of penitence and perseverance in prayer. We confide to you all we carry in our hearts, especially the sick. You guided Bernadette to discover the spring, guide us to Him, the source of eternal life, He who gave us the Holy Spirit. Amen
