St Francis of Assisi's Salutation to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Hail, holy Lady,

most holy Queen,

Mary, Mother of God,

ever-virgin;

Chosen by the most holy Father in heaven,

     consecrated by Him

with His most holy and beloved Son

     and the Holy Spirit, the comforter.

On you descended and in you still remains

     all the fullness of grace

and every good.

Hail, His palace.

Hail, His tabernacle.

Hail, His robe.

Hail, His handmaid.

Hail, His mother.

And hail, all holy virtues,

who by the grace and inspiration of the Holy Spirit,

are poured into the hearts of the faithful

so that, faithless no longer, they may be faithful

     servants of God through you.

Amen
