Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope ... to thee do we cry ... Mother of the poor, the afflicted, the abandoned ... Mother of the orphan and the widow ... Mother of the helpless, the hungry, the homeless ... Mother of the wounded, the sick, the dying ... Mother of the lonely and the alone ... Mother of the fearful, the anxious, the bereft ... Mother of the suffering, the desolate, the hopeless ... Mother of the living and the dead ... remember, O Mother who loves us so dearly, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession was left unaided ... Mother who feels our every pain and knows our every sorrow ... Mother of consolation, Mother of hope, Mother of love ... Mother, remember us, for to thee do we cry!
I am espoused to Him whom the angels serve. Sun and moon stand in wonder at His beauty. ~from the Rite of Consecration to a Life of Virginity
