Don Bosco urged the festive oratory boys to say the rosary daily. Rather than have them omit it for lack of time he asked them to say it while at work or on their way to and from the shops. He maintained that the rosary was a wonderful means for acquiring the virtue of purity and a suer protection against the snares of the devil.
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 us the
Blessed Fruit of thy Womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
O Mary, conceived without sin
Pray for us who have recourse to thee!
