Hail holy Queen, Mother of mercy, 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 valley 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.
Pray for us oh holy mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
How is Mary a "mother of mercy." Mercy is God's alone to give to whom He will. Read your bible.
(Mary) our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
Pitiful. No king but Christ. No Savior but Christ. No redeemer but Christ. No hope but Christ risen.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs
And still RCs laughably maintain they do not pray to Mary even in the face of their own words.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate
We have no advocate, no intercessor, no intermediary between God and men but Christ Jesus.
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" -- 1 Timothy 2:5
