DEVOTION OF THE THREE HAIL MARAS
What does the devotion of the three Hail Marys consist of?
In praying the Hail Mary three times to the Blessed Virgin, Mother of God and our Lady, either to honor her or to obtain some favor through her mediation.
What is the end of this devotion?
Honor the three main attributes of Mary Santsima, which are:
1.- The power that God the Father granted her for being his favorite daughter.
2.- The wisdom with which God the Son adorned her, choosing her as his Mother.
3.- The mercy with which God the Holy Spirit filled her, when choosing her for his immaculate Wife.
That is why there are three Hail Marys to pray and not a different number.
What is the way to pray the three Hail Marys?
Mary, my mother, save me from falling into mortal sin.
1. By the power granted to you by the Eternal Father
God save you, Mara; full of grace; the Lord is with you; blessed are you among all 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.
2. For the wisdom that the Son gave you.
God save you, Mara; full of grace; the Lord is with you; blessed are you among all 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.
3. For the Love that the Holy Spirit gave you
God save you, Mara; full of grace; the Lord is with you; blessed are you among all 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.
Glory to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, now and always for the
centuries of centuries. Amen!
What is the origin of the devotion of the three Hail Marys?
Saint Matilde, a Benedictine nun, begged the Blessed Virgin to assist her at the hour of death. The Virgin Mary told him the following: “I know I will, but I want you to pray three Hail Marys for me daily. The first, asking that just as God the Father raised me to a throne of glory without equal, making me the most powerful in heaven and on earth, so I also assist you on earth to fortify you and separate from you all enemy power. By the second Hail Mary you will ask me that just as the Son of God filled me with wisdom, to such an extent that I have more knowledge of the Most Holy Trinity than all Saints, so I assist you in the trance of death to fill your soul with the lights of faith and true wisdom, so that the darkness of error and ignorance does not darken it. , you will ask that just as the Holy Spirit has filled me with the sweetness of his love, and has made me so kind that after God I am the sweetest and most merciful, so that I assist you in death by filling your soul with such sweetness of love.
divine, may all pain and bitterness of death be changed for you into delights.”
And this promise was extended for the benefit of all those who put into practice that daily prayer of the three Hail Marys.
What are the promises of the Virgin to those who pray the three Hail Marys daily?
Our Lady promised Saint Matilde and other pious souls that whoever prayed three Hail Marys daily would have her help during life and her special assistance at the hour of death, presenting herself in that final hour with the brightness of such beauty that just by seeing her comfort her and convey to her the joys of Heaven.
From what date does the first text of the Avemara date?
On October 23, 1498, the first complete text of the Avemara, as it is prayed today, appeared in print in Brescia-Italy. It was included in a work dedicated to the Virgin, composed by the Servite Father Gasparino Borro.
In 1568, Pope Pius V, when promulgating the new Liturgy of the Hours, introduced and prescribed the complete formula of the Hail Mary and ordered that all priests, at the beginning of the Divine Office, pray the Hail Mary after the Our Father. .
What is the foundation of this devotion?
The Catholic affirmation that the Blessed Virgin possessed, to the highest degree possible for a creature, the attributes of power, wisdom, and mercy.
This is what the Church teaches by invoking Mary as Powerful Virgin, Mother of Mercy and Throne of Wisdom.
