Hail Mary Prayer
The Hail Mary is a prayer that honors the Virgin Mary and asks for her intercession. The Hail Mary combines passages from the Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Luke, with a short closing petition.
It is the central component of the Rosary and is repeated many times as part of the Rosary’s structure, playing a key role in the meditation on the lives of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Many incorporate the Hail Mary into their personal prayers and devotions as a way to seek Mary’s intercession and guidance in their own lives.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen
