Unborn Jesus Our Hope
Appendix III - Excerpt
The "Hail Mary" Prayer
The well known Catholic prayer the Hail Mary is a prayer which celebrates the Incarnation of Jesus Christ and focuses on that event and its implications for those of us who believe. The words of this scriptural and inspired prayer, are directed to Mary, who is the mother of Jesus and the first Christian. As we ask other Christians to pray for us, so too we can ask the first Christian, who has experienced the fullness of our Lord's Resurrection, to pray to her Son for us.
Over the centuries billions of words have been spoken and written about this prayer. Here we will take a different approach and consider it in relation to Unborn Jesus.
Hail Mary, full of grace
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb
