our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate! thy eyes of mercy towards us, and after this our exile is ended, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus: O clement! O pious! O sweet Virgin Mary!
V. Vouchsafe that we may praise thee, O Blessed Virgin.
R. Give us strength against thy enemies. Blessed is God in his Saints. Amen.
V. May the divine assistance remain always with us.
R. Amen.
And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Hail Mary, &c.
Pray for us, &c.
