Being conceived without Original Sin and never sinning means Mary lived a life fully in union with God’s will and fully receptive to his love. By her example, we can ask him to teach us how to receive him more fully and to allow him to teach us how to love beyond ourselves, how to be his face to those we care for.

Excerpt from www.wordonfire.org
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
@Geordie Hail Moses, Hail Joseph, Hail Debra, Hail (everyone) except who Mary acknowledged as the one who should receive the glory and be hailed!!!
"46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name. (not Mary's name rather God's name)
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation."
Luke 1
Mary gave YHVH (God) the glory. MAYBE we should follow The actions of Mary. For IF she was great, than what she DID must also be great.
@col4YHVH If MARY is not your Mother, guess Who is not your Brother?
@Geordie I was Roman Catholic once, when I refused to read and study YHVH's (God's) precious words, better known as the Bible. The Bible, even to Catholics, holds the answers if people would just read and study.
Think about how uneducated your statement was.
"If Mary is not your mother..."
I guess, by your reasoning, John the Baptist, who mother was Elizabeth NOT Mary, was not a prophet of God? (Luke 3:2-6) Oh, I guess he (John) was a greatest prophet even though his mother WASN'T Mary. That come from Jesus Christ who died for you and me.
What did Jesus Christ say???
"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of WOMEN there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
Geordie, it is ok to be mad at me and even hate me. I only seek the truth.
Peace.
