Hail Mary

Hail, Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with thee.  Blessed art thou amongst 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.

Here are my thoughts …

… We ask Mary to pray for us in a prayer that brings together the words of the Angel Gabriel and her cousin Elizabeth – The Hail Mary. … Traditionally on the first 3 beads we contemplate faith, hope and charity (another word for love) 1 Corinthians 13:13  … We ask for an increase of all three in ourselves and the world. …Consider each of the 3 persons of the Trinity and their relationship with Our Lady.

? What do you think of when you say it? What phrase stands out?
