Salutation to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Hail, holy Lady! most holy Queen, Mother of God, Mary! thou art ever- Virgin, elected by the most Holy Father of Heaven, consecrated by His most Holy and Beloved Son, and by the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete; in thee is and was the plenitude of all grace and all good ! Hail, Palace of God, His Tabernacle, His Mother ! Hail to you all holy virtues ! infused into the hearts of the faithful by the grace and illumination of the Holy Spirit, that from unfaithful they may become faithful. Most holy Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Spouse of the Holy Ghost, pray for us to thy beloved Son, Our Lord and Master, together with St. Michael the Archangel, and all the Angels and Saints of heaven. Amen.
