Hail Mary

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.

About the Hail Mary

The Hail Mary is a devotional prayer honoring Mary, Mother of God, combining scriptural greetings (Gabriel’s “Hail, full of grace” and Elizabeth’s “Blessed are you among women”) with a plea for her intercession. Reciting it invites Mary’s spiritual support, deepens our communion with the life of Christ, and unites us with centuries of Christian faithful who have sought her maternal care and guidance.
