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 most common Mother of God prayer in Catholicism, corresponding to the Orthodox chant “Rejoice, Virgin Mary.”
Like “Hail, Virgin Mary,” Ave Maria was originally a combination of two Gospel greetings to the Mother of God - the Archangel Gabriel and the righteous Elizabeth (Luke 1:28 and Luke 1:42). Over time, Ave Maria was supplemented by a second, prayer, part; the final text was established after the 16th century. Ave Maria is included in the initial prayers of every Catholic service; There are many musical variants of its performance.
