Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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.

I'm glad you posted the prayer Jeffery. I've never actually read it as I should have. In fact I don't see anything that is contradictory to Christianity in what it says. Of course I can understand why some would object to asking a dead person to pray for you. But then again, if those in heaven can look down upon us and see and hear us then I can't see that objection being very strong.
