most sweet name of Mary throughout the whole world.
PRAYER TO THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN.
Mary, dear mother! mother most lovely! mother most tender! mother full of love and sweetness for thy children! we pray thee, by this our loving act of thanksgiving to the Most Holy Trinity get us all grace ever to employ the powers of our soul, the five senses of our body, in all our words and works, to the honour and glory of God, One in Three Persons, that we may ever love Him with pure and tender hearts, even as thou didst love Him here on earth; and thus with thee attain to the enjoyment of Him in the bliss of heaven for ever and ever.
Bless us, mother Mary, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
All say Salve Regina, and then—
V. Benedicamus Patrem, et Filium cum Sancto Spiritu.
R. Laudemus, et superexaltemus Eum in sæcula.
Oremus.
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui dedisti famulis tuis in confessione veræ Fidei æternæ Trinitatis gloriam agnoscere, et in potentia Majestatis adorare Unitatem; quæsumus, ut ejusdem Fidei firmitate ab omnibus semper muniamur adversis. Per Christum Dominum mostrum. R. Amen.
V. Let us bless the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
R. Praise and exalt Him above all for ever.
Let us pray.
Almighty and eternal God, who hast given to us
