Mary is certainly worthy of reverence, but not worship.
One cannot simply talk about Jesus without being grateful to his mother.Ĭatholics do not put Mary on par with God we just recognize the role she played in Christian history. She said yes, and because of her “yes,” Jesus was born and redeemed us. She plays an integral role in the redemption of the world. If anyone puts Mary before Jesus, that person is not following the Church’s teaching about Mary. The core of Catholicism is Jesus, not Mary. Even so, Mary is not the core component of faith. Also, the fact that Scripture refers to her in such a special way is good enough reason to talk about her.

Without Mary’s free acceptance of her calling from God we would not have Jesus in human flesh. It was a grace given to her because of her connection to Jesus. In fact, the Church teaches that Mary was immaculately conceived because of her mission to bear Jesus in her womb. Elizabeth recognized that she was bearing the son of God and so recognized that she was special. Mary was chosen to bear Jesus by God, so God singled her out from many, many other women on the planet. She is blessed because the fruit of her womb is blessed. Mary is considered of such high favor with God and Elizabeth recognizes that she is special because of Jesus. Instead, it is a profoundly biblical prayer. It is becoming clear that the Hail Mary does not contradict the Gospel message. We also see in Luke 1:42 Elizabeth addresses Mary, saying, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Again, this is directly found in the Hail Mary. Mary is uniquely graced from the very beginning of her life and maintains that grace throughout her entire life. This is where Catholics find biblical evidence for the Immaculate Conception. So what Gabriel is saying to Mary is that she was given grace in the past and the grace she was given continues with her to the present time. The perfect tense denotes past action with continuing effects in the present. So Mary is not giving grace to someone else. Passive means that something is done to the person. The word Gabriel uses in Greek is kecharitomene, from a verb meaning “to give grace.” Here a little Greek lesson is in order.

Another translation we might see is “full of grace.” That means that the first part of the Hail Mary, “Hail Mary, full of grace,” is straight from the Bible. We see in that same verse that Gabriel calls Mary highly favored (by God).
It is simply that when we speak to Mary, as the angel Gabriel did, we greet her by name. Saying “hail” to someone seems more formal than saying “greetings.” But the term “Hail Mary” is not an attempt to elevate Mary above Jesus. For example, “hail” is not a typical greeting people use today, so many newer translations use the word “greetings” instead.Īs with any translation, translating different words can have slightly different connotations. Each translator (or group of translators) translates the original text into English based on his or her preferences and the needs of the audience. The Latin word for this is “Ave.” In the original Greek, the word is “Chaire,” which is a common greeting in Greek. It seems that the spoken part by the angel Gabriel starts off with a greeting – “Hail” in some translations “Greetings” in others. There are common themes among the various translations. – KJVĪnd coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” – NASBĪnd he came to her and said, Hail, O favored one ! The Lord is with you! Blessed (favored of God) are you before all other women! – Amplified The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” – NIVĪnd the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
The following are various renderings from various translations of the Bible:Īnd coming to her, he said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.” – NAB
The phrase “Hail Mary” is actually biblical! Take a look at Luke 1:28. Why would we say “Hail Mary” and pray the Rosary when we could be talking to Jesus? Doesn’t that go against the meaning of the Gospels, where we learn that we must love Jesus above all else? Why should we have such a prayer to Mary? Why Do Catholics Say ‘Hail Mary’? One thing that many people find difficult to understand about the Catholic Church is the Church’s emphasis on Mary.
