Catholic Prayer: Salutation to Mary

Description:

A copy of this prayer, written by St. John Eudes, was found in a book belonging to St. Margret Mary after her death Zealously propagated by Père Paul de Moll (Belgian) O.S.B. (1824 - 1896) "This Salutation is so beautiful! Recite it daily. From her throne in Heaven the Blessed Virgin will bless you, and you must make the sign of the Cross. Yes! Yes! if only you could see - Our Lady blesses you. I know it." "Offered for the conversion of a sinner it would be impossible not to be granted." (Père Paul de Moll, O.S.B.)

Prayer:

Hail Mary! Daughter of God the Father, Hail Mary! Mother of God the Son, Hail Mary! Spouse of God the Holy Ghost, Hail Mary! Temple of the Most Blessed Trinity, Hail Mary!
