A touching image of the Madonna and Child appears on the front of the prayer card and on the back a prayer to the Virgin Mother called Ave Regina Caelorum which is typically prayed during Lent and as a nightly prayer.
Hail, O Queen of
heaven and enthroned!
Hail, by angels
Mistress owned
Root of Jesse,
Gate of morn,
Whence the world's true
Light was born.
Glorious Virgin, joy to thee,
Loveliest whom
in heaven they see;
Fairest thou where
all are fair,
Plead with Christ
our sins to spare.
(Indulgence, 5 years; plenary, under usual
conditions, for month's recitation).
