Hail Holy Queen! is the first and best part of St Alphonsus Liguori's masterpiece, The Glories of Mary, one of the greatest Catholic books ever written. St. Alphonsus spent many years collecting the best material on Mary he could find - from the writtings of Saints, Doctors of the Church and other holy authors.

Based on the words of the Salve Regina - the "Hail Holy Queen!"- this book explains why Mary is "our life, our sweetness and our hope." It demonstrates the Blessed Virgin Mary's immense love and great mercy toward us and her powerful intercession on our behalf, showing that devotion to Mary is a most certain mark of eternal salvation. It demonstrates that mortal sinners have a special claim upon her and that she is powerful to help them regain the state of grace. It shows how the Holy Ghost has mystically hidden many remarkable secrets about Mary within the pages of Sacred Scripture. Also included are favourite prayers and devotions to the Blessed Mary.
