A Salutation to the Blessed Virgin Mary

By St. Francis of Assisi
(Feast: October 4)

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. Amen.
