Hail Mary

Many a time the Catholic has been accused that the Hail Mary is not in Holy Scripture, but it is. The Hail Mary can be broken down in into four section and three of the four is directly taken from Holy Scripture. While the fourth part, (the pention) is alluded to Revelations.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with you (LK 1:28) Blessed are you Among Women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus (Lk 1:42) Holy Mary, Mother of God (Lk 1:43) Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death amen. (Rev 5:8)

There will be some that will argue, from their mistranslation of Holy Scriptures, that Gabriel said, “Favor one”. Nevertheless, this is not true. St. Jerome translated the Greek into “Animousus Pacis” Animousus meaning: “Full of” as in breath or air, and Pacis meaning “of God’s graces or law”. St. Jerome translated this from the Greek, “pliris evlogia”. Pliris meaning complete, full, thorough, unabbreviated, and evlogia meaning beatification, benediction, blessing. If the Greek had been “gematos chari” then the translation “favored one” would have been correct.
