A
prayer based on greetings, from the
angel Gabriel and from
Mary's cousin Elizabeth, pregnant with
John the Baptist, in chapter one of
Luke's
Gospel:
"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with
thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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."
In the Rosary context, one prays five
decades (50) in each Mystery, and three in the intro.
