Hail Mary! Your servant salutes you on behalf of the angels, And the patriarchs, of the prophets and the martyrs, Of the confessors and the virgins. I greet you on behalf of all the saints of heaven.  Hail Mary! Your greetings from the Christians, The faithful and the sinners. From the faithful because you are worthy of their praise And because you are the hope for our salvation; The sinners salute you and beg for your forgiveness. Hail Mary!  I bring you greetings from Muslims and Jews, From Greeks, Mongols and Tartars. I am the channel through which they, And many other unbelievers, greet you. I salute you for them So that your Son will remember them. Hail Mary! For you are worthy to be known, Loved, served and honoured by all the peoples And all the nations on Earth. They all salute you And beg for your glory and forgiveness. ...

Come to the shrine “Walk towards splendour Your God walks with you” Prepare your heart and leave with trust and joy, Alone, or with your brothers, but Come. Walk in the footsteps of your ancestors Whoever you may be, In God’s house there is a place for you, You have brothers to meet, Saints to follow, Mary to listen to And the mysteries of the Church to live. If you thirst for joy, peace and justice, If you thirst for love and forgiveness, Come and drink the Living water From the fountain of salvation, You who are young and full of enthusiasm You who are ill and wretchedly suffering, You who are feeling marginalised, As well as you who are blessed With a pleasant family life, Come and be illuminated by the light of the Gospel. Go And come back reconciled   Comforted, Renewed. Proclaim the Good News to your brothers: God loves us And awaits us. “Walk towards splendour: Your God walks with you.”...
