The Hail Mary Prayer ~
The Angelic Psalter
The Hail Mary prayer is one of the most sublime prayers, repeating the words of the Angel Gabriel to Our Lady and petitioning her to assist us now and in our final hour on earth.
This prayer alone is so full of truths of the Catholic faith that many saints, like St Thomas Aquinas, St Jerome, St Francis, St Alphonsus de Liguori, St Dominic, Bl Alan and many others have written volumes on Our Lady and the Angelic Greeting.Here are just a few inspirational statements of some of the Saints to give you an idea of the magnitude and depths contained in the Hail Mary: Fr. Suarez, S.J.: "declared when dying that he would willingly give all the many learned books he wrote, all his life's labors, for the merit of one Hail Mary prayerfully and devoutly said." St Thomas Aquinas: preached for 40 days in Rome on the Hail Mary, filling his hearers with rapture. St Jerome: "the truths contained in the Hail Mary are so sublime, so wonderful that no man or Angel could fully understand them." Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed isthe fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
