The Hail Mary In the Bible:
Introduction
To begin, here is the text of the Hail Mary prayer:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among 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.
The Hail Mary has two sections: a greeting and a petition. Both are rooted in New Testament passages.Within each section, we can break down the text into two parts, which gives us four total sections of the prayer to reflect on.
