Virgin and Child with a Rosary
Murillo [Web Gallery of Art]
'The Rosary belongs among the finest and most praiseworthy traditions of Christian contemplation. Developed in the West, it is a typically meditative prayer, corresponding in some way to the “prayer of the heart” or “Jesus prayer” which took root in the soil of the Christian East.' [St John Paul II, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, No 5.]
The Rosary here is the formula prayed by members of
the Legion of Mary, the way I prefer. There are various ways of beginning and
ending the Rosary but the Five Mysteries are the heart of the prayer.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your
faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of Your love.
v. Send forth Your Spirit, O Lord, and they shall
be created.
R. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
God our Father, pour out the gifts of Your Holy Spirit on the world. You sent the Spirit on Your Church to begin the teaching of the gospel: now let the Spirit continue to work in the world through the hearts of all who believe. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy; hail, our life,
our sweetness and our hope. To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to
you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn
then, O most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us, and after this
our exile, show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.

we beseech You, that meditating upon these mysteries in the most holy Rosary of
the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they
promise. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Salve Regina
Notre-Dame de Paris
Salve Regina is one of four seasonal Marian anthems sung or recited at the end of Compline (Night Prayer)
in the Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours, Breviary). It is traditionally sung as a seasonal anthem from the day
after Pentecost Sunday until the first Sunday of Advent.
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae;
vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria.
