 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.

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

O clement,  O  loving,  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.

LMiGHTY, everlasting God, Who,  by  the co-operation of  the  Holy Ghost, didst  so  make ready the  body  and  soul of the  glorious  virgin Mother, Mary,  that  she deserved to  become  a meet  dwelling  for  Thy Son: grant  that  we,  who rejoice in  her  memory, may by  her  loving  intercession be  delivered  from the evils  that  hang  over us, and  from  everlasting death. Through the  same Christ our  Lord.
