The Leonine Prayers
At Low Mass the Priest kneels on one of the the altar steps; with the congregation or with the server, he says the following prayers prescribed by Leo XIII (1884), and by Pius XI (1934) for the Church in Russia (10 years indulgence). Masses of a solemn character are exempt from this rule (Decree of June 20th, 1913) for example, Low Masses taking the place of a conventual or parochial High Mass: Masses during, before or immediately after which the Celebrant performs some other function, except during distribution of Holy Communion.

Salve, Regína, mater misericórdiæ; vita, dulcédo et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamámus éxsules fílii Hevæ. Ad te suspirámus geméntes et flentes in hac lacrimárum valle.

Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, 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 vale of tears.
