Blessed art thou among women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, For thou hast borne the Savior of our souls. Translations from the Greek differ, but here's one:Rejoice, O Virgin Mother of God, Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee. If you're Orthodox, the prayer omits the plea to Mary at the end. They're based on the Angel Gabriel's announcement that Mary would give birth to Jesus, and the words her cousin Elizabeth, John the Baptist's mother, used in greeting her. Read the Gospel of Luke for the antecedents of the first five lines. Say the prayer: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 death.
Remember that prayer can happen anywhere, even in a noisy crowd. Some people feel it's easier to concentrate this way, but it's by no means required. In this traditional, time-honored prayer, we humbly ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to pray for us. It is used primarily by Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians.Ĭlose your eyes if you choose. The Hail Mary prayer (also known as the Ave Maria prayer, from its first words in Latin) is a well-loved, beautiful prayer. The Hail Mary, also known by its Latin title, Ave Maria, is the best-known prayer in honor of the mother of Jesus. Just memorize the prayer and the next time you find yourself in need you will know just what to say. If you're Christian or Catholic you're probably familiar with the infamous Hail Mary prayer.
