![]() ![]() ![]() Mechtilde, who loved our Lady very much, was one day striving to compose a beautiful prayer in her honor. Suarez, the holy and learned Jesuit, 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. Thomas Aquinas, the Prince of Theologians, "the wisest of Saints and holiest of wise men," as Leo XIII called him, preached for 40 days in Rome on the Hail Mary, filling his hearers with rapture.įather F. Jerome tells us that "the truths contained in the Hail Mary are so sublime, so wonderful that no man or Angel could fully understand them." Is it hard to say the Hail Mary well? All we have to do is to know its value and understand its meaning. The Hail Mary is like a mine of gold that we can always take from but never exhaust. One Hail Mary well said gives us more graces than a thousand thoughtlessly said. One Hail Mary well said fills the heart of Our Lady with delight and obtains for us indescribably great graces. They can give God's Mother great joy and obtain for themselves graces that she wishes to give them. These following words may help some say it more thoughtfully. ![]() Some repeat it hastily not even thinking on the words they are saying. Millions of Catholics often say the Hail Mary. HOLY MARY, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. HAIL, MARY, full of grace the Lord is with thee blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. ![]()
