Prayer of Three Hail Marys


I.

Oh, Immaculate Mary, Virgin most Powerful,
I beseech you, through that immense Power
which you have received from the eternal Father,
obtain for me Purity of heart,
Strength to overcome all the enemies of my soul,
and the special favour
I implore in my present necessity.

(State your intention here...)

Mother most Pure!
Forsake me not,
despise not my prayer,
graciously hear me for God's glory,
your honor, and the welfare of my soul.
To obtain this favour I honour your Power
by reciting one Hail Mary.

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.

II

Oh Virgin Mary, my Mother,
through that ineffable Wisdom
bestowed upon you by the
Incarnate Word of God,
I humbly beseech you,
obtain for me
Meekness and Humility of heart,
a perfect knowledge of the divine Will,
and strength to accomplish it always.
Oh Mary, Seat of Wisdom,
as a tender Mother
lead me in the path of
Christian Virtue and perfection,
enlighten and enable me to do
what is most pleasing
to your beloved Son,
and obtain my petition.
To obtain this grace
I honor your Wisdom by reciting one Hail Mary.

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.

III

Oh, Mother of Mercy,
Mother of penitent sinners,
I stand before you sinful and sorrowful,
beseeching you through the immense Love
given to you by the Holy Spirit
for us poor sinners,
obtain for me
true and perfect contrition
for my sins, which I hate and detest
with all my heart,
because I love God.
Mother most Merciful,
help me in my present necessity.
Turn then, those eyes
of Mercy toward us,
Oh Clement, Oh Loving,
Oh Sweet Virgin Mary!
To obtain this precious gift,
I honour your Loving Mercy
by reciting one Hail Mary.

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.
