May the Month of Mary

The month of May as you all well are aware is devoted to the Holy Mother  Mary. I know at both parishes that I attend there will be celebrations with the crowning of Mary. At our Hungarian parish it will be part of this Sunday's mass and at my other parish (English/Polish) it will be a complete separate mass with a rosary etc on May 14. With this said I decided to throw in a beautiful prayer to kind of kick start myself in this month of devotion,

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.
