The Salve Regina ("Hail, Holy Queen") is sung every evening by Dominicans. According to tradition, the Blessed Mother prays for the security of the whole Order as Dominicans sing, "Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us." This novena we ask our Blessed Mother to pour out blessing upon your mother. Shrine of Saint Jude at St. Dominic's Church, Washington, D.C. Photo by Fr. Lawrence Lew, O.P.
