Meditation on the Hail Mary

HAIL MARY! We greet you with
the Angel: full of grace. The
Lord is with you.

We greet you with Elizabeth: You are
blessed among women, and blessed is
the fruit of your womb; you are
blessed, because you believed in the
divine promises!

We greet you with the words of the
Gospel: Blessed are you, because you
have heard the word of God and have
carried it out.

You are full of grace!
We praise you, especially beloved
Daughter of the Father.

We bless you, Mother of the divine
Word.

We venerate you, Dwelling of the
Holy Spirit.

We call on you, Mother and Model of
the whole Church.

We contemplate you, perfect image of
the hopes of all humanity.
The Lord is with you!

You are the Virgin of the Annunciation,
the Yes of all humanity to the
mystery of salvation.

You are the Daughter of Zion and the
Ark of the new Covenant in the
mystery of the visitation.

You are the Mother of Jesus, born of
Bethlehem, and you showed Him to
the simple shepherds and to the wise

You are the Mother who offers her
Son in the temple, accompanies Him
to Egypt, leads him to Nazareth.

Virgin of the paths of Jesus, of the
hidden life and of the miracle of
Cana.

Sorrowful Mother of Calvary and
glorious Virgin of the Resurrection.

You are the Mother of the disciples of
Jesus in the expectation and in thejoy of Pentecost.

Blessed . . .
because you believed in the Word of
the Lord,
because you hoped in His promises,
because you were perfect in love,
because of your attentive charity
toward Elizabeth,
because of your motherly goodness at
Bethlehem,
because of your fortitude in persecution,
because of your perseverance in seeking
Jesus in the temple,
because of your simple life at Nazareth,
because of your maternal presence
beside the Cross,
because of your fidelity in awaiting
the Resurrection,
because of your assiduous prayer at
Pentecost.

You are blessed because of your glory
in the Assumption into heaven,
because of your motherly protection
of the Church,

because of your constant intercession
for all of humanity.

Holy Mary, Mother of God!

We want to consecrate ourselves to
you.

Because you are the Mother of God
and our Mother.

Because your Son Jesus has entrusted
us to you.

The bishops, who imitate the Good
Shepherd by watching over the people
that has been entrusted to them.
The priests, who have been anointed
by the Spirit.

The men and women religious, who
offer their lives for the Kingdom of
Christ.

The seminarians, who have accepted
the call of the Lord.

The Christian spouses in the unity
and indissolubility of their love and
their families.

The laity involved in the apostolate.
The young people who yearn for a new
society.

The children who deserve a world
that is more human and peaceful.

The sick, the poor, the imprisoned,
the persecuted, the orphans, those
without hope, and the dying.

Pray for us sinners!

Mother of the Church, we take refuge
under your protection and entrust
ourselves to your inspiration.

Now and at the hour of our death.
Virgin of the Rosary, our Mother!
pray for us now.

Grant us the inestimable gift of
peace,

to pardon all the hatreds and rancors,
the reconciliation of all the brethren.
May violence and guerrilla warfare
cease.

May dialogue make progress and
consolidate itself,

and may a peaceful social life begin.
We ask this of you, whom we invoke
as Queen of Peace.

Now and at the hour of our death!
We entrust to you all the victims of
injustice and of violence,
all who have died in natural
catastrophies,

all those who tum to you as Mother
and Patroness in the hour of death.
Be for us all, O Gate of Heaven,
life, sweetness and hope,
so that together we may, with you,
glorify the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit. Amen!
