Listen to the Salve Regina, sung by Bishop Robert Reed. The Salve Regina is a Marian antiphon composed during the Middle Ages, and it is often prayed at the end of the rosary and during some hours of the Divine Office depending on liturgical season. The Hail, Holy Queen is the English translation of this Latin antiphon.
\n\nSalve, Regina, mater misericordiae;
\nvita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.
\nAd te clamamus exsules filii Hevae.
\nAd te suspiramus gementes et flentes
\nin hac lacrimarum valle.
\nEia ergo, advocata nostra,
\nillos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
\nEt Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
\nnobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
\nO clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria.
English:
\nHail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
\nour life, our sweetness and our hope.
\nTo thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
\nTo thee do we send up our sighs,
\nmourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

\nand after this, our exile, show unto us

\n\nImmaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future!
\n\nFrom famine and war, deliver us.

\nHelp us with the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer all sin: individual sin and the "sin of the world", sin in all its manifestations.
Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite saving power of the Redemption: the power of merciful Love! May it put a stop to evil! May it transform consciences! May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope!

The Nicene Creed was developed at the first ecumenical Council of Nicaea in response to the heresy of Arianism, which posited that Jesus was not fully divine. The Nicene Creed expands upon the Apostles' Creed and adds phrases like "born before all ages," "begotten not made," and "consubstantial with the Father," among others, to emphasize that Jesus is in fact divine and one with the Father. Today we pray the Nicene Creed at Mass. It is a profession of faith that succinctly expresses Catholic belief.
\n\nI believe in one God,
\nthe Father almighty,
\nmaker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
\n\nI believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
\n\nI believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Join us in praying the Magnificat. Taken from Luke 1:46-55, the Magnificat is Mary's canticle, a song of praise and surrender in response to Elizabeth after the child leapt in her womb.
\n\nMy soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
\nmy spirit rejoices in God my Savior
\nfor he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
\nFrom this day all generations will call me blessed:
\nthe Almighty has done great things for me,
\nand holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
\nin every generation.
\nHe has shown the strength of his arm,
\nhe has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
\nand has lifted up the lowly.
\nHe has filled the hungry with good things,
\nand the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
\nfor he remembered his promise of mercy,
\nthe promise he made to our fathers,
\nto Abraham and his children forever.
Join us in praying the Prayer of Abandonment. It was written by Charles de Foucauld, a Catholic priest, hermit, and martyr. Some say that it was his prayer to the Father written while on retreat in Nazareth and others say that it is his narrative of Jesus' prayer to the Father.
\n\nFather,
\nI abandon myself into your hands;
\ndo with me what you will.
\nWhatever you may do, I thank you:
\nI am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
\nand in all your creatures -
\nI wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul:
\nI offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
\nfor I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,
\nto surrender myself into your hands without reserve,
\nand with boundless confidence,
\nfor you are my Father.
Join us in praying the Litany of Humility. Attributed to Cardinal Merry del Val, secretary of state to Pope Saint Pius X, this litany challenges us to free ourselves of pride, self-centeredness, and fear of what others think. The litany has us refocus on asking Jesus to help us desire meekness and humility.
\n\nLitany of Humility:
\n\nO Jesus meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
\nFrom the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the desire of being loved, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the desire of being extolled, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the desire of being honored, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the desire of being praised, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the desire of being preferred to others, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the desire of being consulted, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the desire of being approved, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the fear of being humiliated, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the fear of being despised, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the fear of suffering rebukes, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the fear of being forgotten, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the fear of being ridiculed, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the fear of being wronged, Deliver me, Jesus.
\nFrom the fear of being suspected, Deliver me, Jesus.
That others may be loved more than I,
\nJesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
\nThat others may be esteemed more than I,
\nJesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
\nThat in the opinion of the world, others may increase, and I may decrease,
\nJesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
\nThat others may be chosen and I set aside,
\nJesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
\nThat others may be praised and I unnoticed,
\nJesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
\nThat others may be preferred to me in everything,
\nJesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
\nThat others may become holier than I, provided that I become as holy as I should,
\nJesus, grant me the grace to desire it. Amen.
If you're unable to attend Mass, pray this prayer and ask your guardian angel to go in your place. According the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life." (CCC 336). Since our guardian angels desire God's glory and our salvation, we can be confident that they will gladly pray for us at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!
\n\nA Prayer to your Guardian Angel When You Can't Attend Mass:
\n\nO Holy Angel at my side,
\nGo to Church for me, kneel in my place,
\nAt Holy Mass, where I desire to be.
\nAt offertory, in my stead, take all I am and own,
\nAnd place it as a sacrifice upon the Altar Throne.
\nAt Holy Consecration’s bell, adore with
\nSeraph’s love, my Jesus hidden in the Host,
\nCome down from heaven above.
\nThen pray for those I dearly love,
\nAnd those who cause me grief,
\nThat Jesus’ blood may cleanse all hearts,
\nAnd suffering souls relieve.
\nAnd when the priest Communion takes,
\nOh, bring my Lord to me, that His sweet
\nHeart may rest on mine, and I His temple be.
\nPray that this Sacrifice Divine, may all our sins efface;
\nthen bring me Jesus’ blessing home.
\nthe pledge of every grace.
Join us in praying the Anima Christi. The prayer's exact origins are not clear, but it is well known for appearing at the beginning of Saint Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises. "Anima Christi," meaning "soul of Christ," is the first phrase in the Latin prayer.
\n\nThe Anima Christi:
\n\nSoul of Christ, sanctify me.
\nBody of Christ, save me.
\nBlood of Christ, inebriate me.
\nWater from the side of Christ, wash me.
\nPassion of Christ, strengthen me.
\nO Good Jesus, hear me.
\nWithin Thy wounds, hide me.
\nSeparated from Thee, let me never be.
\nFrom the malignant enemy, defend me.
\nAt the hour of death, call me.
\nAnd close to Thee bid me,
\nthat with Thy saints I may be praising Thee, forever and ever.
\nAmen.
Join us in praying the Memorare! The Memorare is an ancient prayer, but its devotion became widespread in the 17th century. Its name comes from the prayer's first word, "remember," in Latin.
\n\nThe Memorare:
\n\nRemember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
\nthat never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
\nimplored thy help, or sought thy intercession
\nwas left unaided.
\nInspired by this confidence,
\nI fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
\nTo thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
\nO Mother of the Word Incarnate,
\ndespise not my petitions,
\nbut in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
\nAmen.
Join us in praying the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel. St. Michael is the guardian of the Church and a powerful intercessor for anyone facing spiritual attack.
\n\nPrayer to Saint Michael the Archangel:
\n\nSaint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

\n\nJoin the Daughters of Saint Paul in praying a Memento Mori Rosary. Memento mori means "remember your death" in Latin, and refers to the ancient practice of meditating on death and the afterlife. The Memento Mori Rosary is composed of 5 mysteries that help us meditate on and enter into Jesus’ death. When we pray these mysteries we can ask for the grace to live our lives in preparation for our death, and we can thank God for the gift of salvation that allows us to hope in eternal life and the final resurrection of the body.
