Mary, Mother
of the Church

Hail Mary, full of
grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you 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.

The Catena Legionis
-
Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon,
bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?
My soul glorifies the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in her lowliness;
henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me.
Holy His name!
His mercy is from age to age,
on those who fear him.
He puts forth his arm in strength
and scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones
and raises the lowly.
He fills the starving with good things,
sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, His servant,
remembering His mercy,
the mercy promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his sons for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end,
Amen.
Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon,
bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?
O Mary, conceived without sin.
Pray for us who have recourse to you.
Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, our mediator with the Father, You have
been pleased to appoint the most Blessed Virgin, your mother, to be our
mother also, and our mediatrix with you, mercifully grant that whoever comes
to you seeking your favours may rejoice to receive all of them through her.
Amen

The Memorare
-
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 with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of
virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, do not ignore my petitions but in your mercy
hear and answer me. Amen.
