The Prayer Hail, Christ, Our King (by Father Stedman)

Most Sweet Jesus! Come near to us, Thy children. Receive from our hands that crown which those who are but dust of earth, try to seize from Thee. Enter now in triumph among us, Thy fervent followers!
Hail, Christ, our King! 

Lawmakers may break the tables of Thy Law, but whilst they lose their thrones and are forgotten, we, Thy subjects, will continue to salute Thee.
Hail, Christ, our King! 

They have said that Thy GOSPEL is out-of-date, that it hinders progress, and must no longer be considered. They who say this soon disappear into obscurity and are forgotten; whilst we, who adore Thee, continue to salute Thee.

Hail, Christ, our King!

The proud, the worldly, those who possess unlawful riches, those who thirst for riches, honors and pleasures alone, declaring Thy moral law to be for past ages, will be hurled against the Rock of Calvary and Thy Church and falling, will be reduced to dust, and sink into oblivion, whilst we, Thy followers, continue to salute Thee.

Hail, Christ, our King!

Those who seek the dawn of a material civilization, divorced from God, will surely die, poisoned by their own false doctrine, deserted and cursed by their own children, whilst we, who would console Thee, will continue to salute Thee.

Hail, Christ, our King! 

Yes, hail to Thee, O Christ, our King! Put to flight Lucifer, the fallen Angel of darkness, from our homes, schools and society, force him and his agents into Hell, chain him there everlastingly, whilst we, Thy friends, continue to salute Thee.

Hail Holy Queen 1

SALVE REGINA, Mater misericordiae. Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te Suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria. 

V. Ora pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genetrix. 
R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi. 

Let Us Pray: Oremus 

O God, Whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection. 

Deus, cujus Unigenitus per vitam mortem et resurrectionem suam nobis salutis aeterne praemia comparavit: concede, quaesumus; ut, haec mysteria sanctissimo beatae Mariae Virginis Rosario recolentes, et imitemur quor continent, et quod promittunt, assequamur. Per eumdem Dominum.

Amen.

Hail Holy Queen 2

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!

Amen.
