Another Rentlorian Chant : The Hail Mary
The hail Mary is an often misunderstood prayer. It is perceived as worshiping Mary. But that can't be since Catholics worship the Triune God alone. The initial words of the prayer are from Scripture in Luke.If an angel can honor Mary , we certainly can as well. But the prayer hinges on the name of Jesus. Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. In the hail Mary we honor Mary and then bless the name of Jesus! The prayer concludes with asking her to intercede for us, and what son won't hear the cries of his mother? I took some liberty with the words of the prayer to highlight these points.
