Let us pray

O God, Who didst vouchsafe to give joy to the world through the Resurrection of Thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ; grant, we beseech Thee, that, through His Mother, the Virgin Mary, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

V. May the divine assistance remain always with us. R. Amen.

Pater, Ave, and Credo, in silence.

From Compline of the Saturday after Pentecost until Advent

ANTHEM

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy. Hail, 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, thine eyes of mercy toward us.
