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.
In
Latin:
Ave
Maria, gratia plena. Dominus tecum.
Benedicta
tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta
Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

The Rosary is my favourite prayer. A marvellous
prayer! Marvellous in its simplicity and its depth . . . Against the background
of the words Ave Maria the principal events of the life of Jesus Christ pass before the
eyes of the soul . . . At the same time our heart can embrace in the decades of
the Rosary all the events that make up the lives of individuals, families,
nations, the Church, and all mankind: our personal concerns and those of our
neighbour, especially those who are closest to us, who are dearest to us. Thus
the simple prayer of the Rosary marks the rhythm of human life.
POPE JOHN
PAUL II

ROSARY
The name of a set of prayer
beads and the name of a devotional prayer that originated in the twelfth
century, particularly among the Cistercian and Carthusian monks, whose lay
brothers did not participate in the Liturgy of the Hours and had in the Rosary
their own form of prayer (the “Marian Psalter”). Later the Rosary was promoted
by other religious orders, especially by the Dominicans. The Popes have
recommended this prayer again and again, and for many people it is a beloved
devotion.
