Hail Mary

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.

The month of May is the month which the piety of the faithful has especially dedicated to Our Blessed Lady, and it is the occasion for a moving tribute of faith and love which Catholics in every part of the world pay to the Queen of Heaven. 

During this month Christians, both in church and in the privacy of the home, 

offer up to Mary from their hearts and especially fervent and loving homage of 

prayer and veneration.
