480 HAIL MARY PRAYER

YOUCAT Lesson 480
YOUCAT the catechism for Catholic youth

480  What are the words of the “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 Hail Mary in Latin:
Ave Maria, gratia plena.  Dominus tecum.  Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et beneductus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.  Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.  Amen.



Ave Maria (Latin = Hail Mary): the first part of the most important and popular prayer after the Our Father is taken from the Bible (Luke 1:28; Luke 1:42).  The second part, “…now and at the hour of our death”, is an addition from the sixteenth century.
