Melkite Greek Catholic Church Information Center

Hail Mary

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. For you have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

Another version

Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Mary full of grace; the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, for thou hast borne the Savior of our souls.
Saint Ann's Melkite Catholic Church - Everyday Prayers West Patterson, NJ,

When the Hail Mary began, this prayer consisted only of the combined greeting of the Angel Gabriel to Mary from Lk. 1:28 (Annunciation) ("Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you" and Elizabeth's greeting to Mary from Lk. 1:42 (Visitation) ("Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb"). Later, the conclusion of the prayer developed. In the East, the conclusion is "for you have given birth to the Savior of our souls" and in the West, it is "Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death".

O God of all spirits and of all flesh, who have destroyed death, overcome the devil, and given life to the world: grant, O Lord, to the souls of your servants Bucky and Shirley, who has departed from this life, that it may rest in a place of light, in a place of happiness, in a place of peace, where there is no pain, no grief, no sighing. And since You are a gracious God and the Lover of Mankind, forgive him/her every sin he/she has committed by thought, or word, or deed, for there is not a man who lives and does not sin : You alone are without sin, your righteousness is everlasting, and your word is true. You are the Resurrection and the Life, and the repose of your departed servants Bucky and Shirley. O Christ our God, and we send up glory to You, together with your eternal Father and your all-holy, good and life-givng Spirit, now and always and for ages upon ages. Amen.
