Hail Mary...
V. Pray for us, O most sorrowful Virgin,
R. That we may be made worthy of the promise of Christ.
Let Us Pray, - We beseech Thee,
O Lord Jesus Christ,
that the Blessed Virgin Mary
whose heart at the time of Thy passion
was pierced through with the sword of sorrow,
may intercede for us before the throne of mercy,
now and at the hour of our death;
who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost,
livest and reignest,
one God, world without end.
Amen.
