Hail, Virgin and Mother

Clusters of purple grapes hang beneath green leaves and a textured vine on a wooden pergola.
May a life rooted in Christ bear fruit in love.

Hail, Virgin and Mother Mary Immaculate All Heaven and earth rejoice and be grateful because God choose you as His mother. I ask you today and forever to pray and protect me. Don't let me a second without your prayer and favour, so that I will stay in grace. Don't let me a second without paying attention to the Most Merciful Heart of Jesus, your Son and let me be your servant.

May all of my power and energy come from True Vine and produce fruit because of your prayers. Salute and honour for you, the Most blessed among all creation, O Virgin and Mother Mary.

Hail, Virgin and Mother asks for Mary’s intercession while looking to Christ as the source of a fruitful life. Fulton J. Sheen’s The World’s First Love explores Mary’s motherhood and her relationship to her Son, offering a broader setting for that prayer of trust.
