11. SALVE REGINA

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.
Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve!
To do we send up our sighs; mourning and weeping in this vale of tears!
Turn then, most gracious, Advocate, Your eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our excile, show unto us the blessed of Your womb, Jesus!
O Clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!



12. THE MEMORARE
Remember, O most gracious Virgi 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, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, ear and answer me. Amen.



13. MAGNIFICAT
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;
Because he has regarded the lowliness of his handmaid;
for, behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed;
Because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name;
And his mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear him.
He has shown might with his arm,
he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has given help to Israel, his servant, mindful of his mercy-
Even as he spoke to our fathers-
to Abraham and his posterity forever.



14. THE BEATITUDES
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall posses the earth. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice,for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are you who men reproach you, and persecute you, and speaking falsely, say all manner of evil against you, for my sake.



15. PRAYER OF ST.FRANCIS OF ASSISSI
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And when there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.



16. MARY, MOTHER OF GRACE
Mary, mother of grace, Mother of mercy, Shield me from the enemy and receive me at the hour of my death.
