Salve Regina
Traditionally used from Trinity Sunday until Advent.

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.

Regina Caeli
Traditionally used during the Easter Season (Easter Sunday until Trinity Sunday)

Queen of Heaven rejoice, alleluia: For He whom you merited to bear, alleluia, Has risen as He said, alleluia. Pray for us to God, alleluia.

Alma Redemptoris Mater
Traditionally recited from the first Sunday in Advent until the Feast of the Purification (Feb. 2).

Loving mother of the Redeemer, gate of heaven, star of the sea, assist your people who have fallen yet strive to rise again. To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator, Yet remained a virgin after as before. You who received Gabriel's joyful greeting, have pity on us poor sinners.

Ave Regina Caelorum
Traditionally used from the Feast of the Purification (Feb. 2) until Wednesday in Holy Week.

Hail, Queen of heaven; Hail, Mistress of the Angels; Hail, root of Jesus; Hail, the gate through which the Light rose over the earth. Rejoice, Virgin most renowned and of unsurpassed beauty.
