# Salve Regina 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 to 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. --- Indulgence: This prayer is indulgenced according to the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, concessio 17 § 2 3° (Salve Regina). Apostolic Penitentiary, Vatican.
