Mother Mary, Mother of Jesus, prays for all children of God and leads them to her son, Jesus. Mother Mary glorified God all her life. She is a perfect instrument of God, with whom God was pleased. She fulfilled the will of God always.

Turn to her and ask her intercession, and you too will find a Mother reaching out to you. You will find her love for you which never fails.

Mother Mary stood by her Son Jesus at the foot of the cross, along with disciple John during His crucifixion. Jesus turned towards John and said “Behold Your Mother”.

YWe too have her as our mother, praying and caring for our spiritual and temporal well being. Just as St John took her into his home, invite and accept Mother Mary into your home (your heart).

John 19:27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

In the book, The Secret of the Rosary by Saint Louis de Montfort, Hail Mary is explained well.

ARE YOU in the miserable state of sin? Then call on the divine Mary and say to her: Ave, which means “I salute thee with the most profound respect, thou who art without sin” and she will deliver you from the evil of your sins.

Are you groping in the darkness of ignorance and error? Go to Mary and say to her: Hail Mary; which means “Hail thou who art bathed in the light of the Sun of Justice”—and she will give you some of her light.

Have you strayed from the path leading to Heaven? Then call on Mary, for her name means “Star of the Sea, the North Star which guides the ships of our souls during the voyage of this life,” and she will guide you to the harbor of eternal salvation.

Are you in sorrow? Turn to Mary, for her name means also “Sea of Bitterness which has been filled with sharp pain in this world but which is now turned into a Sea of the Purest Joy in Heaven” and she will turn your sorrow to joy and your afflictions into consolation.

Have you lost the state of grace? Praise and honor the numberless graces with which God has filled the Blessed Virgin and say to her: Thou art full of grace and filled with all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and she will give you some of these graces.

Are you all alone, having lost God’s protection? Pray to Mary, and say: “The Lord is with thee—and this union is far nobler and more intimate than that which He has with Saints and the just—because thou art one with Him. He is thy Son and His Flesh is thy flesh; thou art united to the Lord because of thy perfect likeness to Him and by your mutual love—for thou art His Mother.” And then say to her: “The Three Persons of the Godhead are with thee because thou art the Temple of the Most Blessed Trinity,” and she will place you once more under the protection and care of Almighty God.

Have you become an outcast and have you been accursed by God? Then say to Our Lady: “Blessed art thou above all women and above all nations, by thy purity and fertility; thou hast turned God’s maledictions into blessings for us,” and she will bless you.
