Hail Mary, white Lilly of the resplendent and ever unchanging Trinity. Hail Mary, red Rose of Paradise. Hail Mary, Virgin full of sweetness and humility, from whom the King of Heaven willed to be born and to suckle at the breast. Hail Mary, Virgin of virgins. Hail Mary, Queen of martyrs, who spent Thy life for Heaven while on this earth. Hail Mary, Queen of my heart, my sweetness, my life and my entire hope. Hail Mary, Mother most amiable. Hail Mary, Mother most admirable. Hail Mary, Mother of fair love. Hail Mary, Mother of mercy. Hail Mary, conceived without sin.
