Closing Prayer Lord our God, you chose the mother of your beloved Son to be the mother and help of Christians; grant that we may live under her protection and that your Church may enjoy unbroken peace.  Through Christ, our Lord. Amen. HAIL, HOLY QUEEN Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
