Knowing the etymology of words used in religion opens new perspectives and meaning.

It just clicked in my mind about what is Prayed in the
Salve Regina Prayer. In that Prayer we Pray (And after this
our Exile, show unto us the Blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.) There is the word Exile.
I hope this helps everyone have a better understanding of what we are Praying when we are Praying the (Salve Regina)
May The Lord Saturate Our Souls With The Holy Spirit🔥✝️🙏

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".

O come, O come, Immanuel,
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel!
To you shall come Immanuel!
