Meditation: Look, devout soul, look to Calvary, whereon are raised two altars of sacrifice, one on the body of Jesus, the other on the heart of Mary. After that he saith to the disciple: Behold thy Mother” (John 19: 18, 25-27). When Jesus therefore had seen His Mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, He saith to His Mother: Woman: behold thy son.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, His Mother. They tell us that the Hail Mary is a heavenly dew for watering the earth, which is the soul, to make it bring forth fruit in season and that a soul which is not watered by that prayer bears no fruit, and brings forth only thorns and brambles, and is ready to be cursed.“They crucified Him. They tell us that it is that prayer which made the dry and barren earth bring forth the fruit of life and that it is that prayer – well said – which makes the word of God germinate in our souls, and bring forth Jesus Christ, the Fruit of Life. They have loudly proclaimed and openly preached that, salvation having begun with the Hail Mary, the salvation of each one of us in particular is attached to that prayer. They have composed entire works on the wonders and efficiency of that prayer for converting souls. It was necessary for the Blessed Virgin to appear several times to great and enlightened saints to show them the merit of it. 'Few Christians, however enlightened, know the real value, merit, excellence, and necessity of the Hail Mary. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. *Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee! Blessed art Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin above all angels and saints in Paradise, beloved Spouse of the Holy Ghost, I consecrate to Thee my heart, with all its affections and beseech Thee to obtain for me from the Most Holy Trinity all the graces necessary for salvation. I consecrate to Thee my body with all its senses.

With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin above all angels and saints in Paradise, beloved Mother of the Son of God.

With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin above all angels and saints in Paradise, Daughter of the Eternal Father, and I consecrate to Thee my soul with all its faculties.
