From first Vespers of Trinity Sunday till Advent.
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 vale of tears.

Turn then, most gracious Advocate,

Thy merciful eyes towards us,

And after this our exile, show unto us Jesus,
The blessed fruit of thy womb,

O clement, O pious, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Omnipotens, sempitérne Deus, qui gloriósæ Virginis Matris María corpus et ánimam ut dignum Fílii tui habitáculum éffici mererétur, Spíritu Sancto cooperánte, præparásti; da ut cujus commemoratióne lætámur, ejus pia intercessióne ab instántibus malis et a morte perpétua liberémur. Per eúmdem Christum, Dóminum nostrum.

BENEDICTION OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT.

When the Priest opens the Tabernacle and incenses the Blessed Sacrament, is sung the Hymn,

O Salutaris Hostia,
Quæ cœli pandis ostium;
Bella premunt hostilia;
Da robur, fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.
Amen.

Let us pray.

Almighty, everlasting God, who, by the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, didst prepare the body and soul of Mary, glorious Virgin and Mother, to become the worthy habitation of thy Son; grant that we may be delivered from instant evils and from everlasting death by her gracious intercession, in whose commemoration we rejoice. Through the same Christ our Lord. R. Amen.

BENEDICTION OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT.

O Saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of Heav'n to man below;

To thy great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, one in three.
O grant us endless length of days
In our true native land with thec.
Amen.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum,
Veneremur gernui;

Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui ;
Præstet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque,
Laus et jubilatio,

Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio;

Procedenti ab utroque

Compar sit laudatio.

Amen.
