Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among 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.
Hail, Holy Queen
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.
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worth of the promises of Christ.
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 unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you 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.
Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes
O ever Immaculate Virgin Mother of mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comfort of the afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my suffering, deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors; and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the granting of my requests. Through gratitude for favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues that I may one day share your glory. Amen.
Night Prayer to Mary, Mother of God
Night is falling dear mother, the long day is o'er and before thy loved image I'm kneeling once more. To thank you for keeping me safe through the day and to ask you this night to keep evil away. Many times I have fallen today, mother dear, many graces neglected since last I knelt here. Will you not in pity, my own mother mild ask Jesus to pardon the sins of His child. I'm going to rest now for the day's work is done. Its hours and its moments have passed one by one and the God who will judge me will has counted them all; He has numbered each grace, He has counted each fall, and in His book they are written against the last day. O Mother ask Jesus to wash them away. For one drop of his blood which for sinners was spilt is sufficient to cleanse the whole world of its guilt. And if e'er the dawn I should draw my last breath and the sleep that I take be the long sleep of death, be near me dear mother for Jesus' sweet sake, when my soul on eternity's shore shall awake. Amen.
