Hail Mary
A recent conversation with co-workers provided me with an opportunity to explain that the Hail Mary pray is almost directly from Scripture...
I said if you read scripture you have said the Hail Mary...
Below is the scripture verses used in the Hail Mary and the prayer...
"Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."
Luke 1:28
"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!"
Luke 1:42
"mother of our Lord"
Luke 1:43
"pray for us"
1 Thessalonians 5:25
Hail Mary full of grace. The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen!
