The text of the Hail Mary prayer incorporates two Bible passages: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28) and “Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb" (Luke 1:42).
Study the Biblical roots of the Hail Mary. Turn then those eyes of mercy toward us, oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary! To obtain this precious gift, I honor Your loving mercy by reciting: (say the Hail Mary). Mother most merciful, help me in my present necessity.
Repeat this phrase to preface the third Hail Mary: Oh, Mother of Mercy, Mother of penitent sinners, I stand before you sinful and sorrowful, beseeching you through the immense love given to you by the Holy Spirit for us poor sinners, obtain for me true and perfect contrition for my sins, which I hate and detest with all my heart, because I love God. To obtain this grace I honor your Wisdom by reciting: (say the Hail Mary). Oh Mary, Seat of Wisdom as a tender Mother, lead me in the path of Christian virtue and perfection enlighten and enable me to do what is most pleasing to your beloved Son and obtain my petition. Say these words to frame the second Hail Mary: Oh Virgin Mary, My Mother, through that ineffable Wisdom bestowed upon you by the Incarnate Word of God, I humbly beseech you, obtain for me meekness and humility of heart a perfect knowledge of the divine will and strength to accomplish it always. To obtain this favor I honor your Power by reciting: (say the Hail Mary). Mother most pure! Forsake me not, despise not my prayer, graciously hear me for God's glory, your honor, and the welfare of my soul. Say the following words before the first Hail Mary: Oh, Immaculate Mary, Virgin most Powerful, I beseech you, through that immense Power which you have received from the Eternal Father, obtain for me purity of heart strength to overcome all the enemies of my soul and the special favor I implore in my present necessity. Say the following prayers in succession-each punctuated by one standard Hail Mary-to honor Mary's power, wisdom, and mercy: Say these Hail Marys after waking in the morning say them before going to bed at night, after examining your conscience. This is a traditional Roman Catholic practice of reciting three Hail Marys in sequence as a petition for purity and other virtues.
