The Hail Mary.
The Holy Church teaches, following St. Paul, you can not go to God except through Jesus Christ our Lord: "there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all" (1st Tim. II, 5-6).
San Bernardo, S. XII, returning to the teachings of many saints of the early centuries, says you can not go to Jesus, but is also Mary, because God wanted to be with Mary as a medium between Jesus and us: "It is the will of God, says him, we have everything through Mary. " All the graces that Jesus has paid the Redemption come to us through Mary. The Church resumes this doctrine of the saints for the simple words that became a saying: "Ad Jesum per Mariam", "To Jesus through Mary." The Church teaches us another truth not only in doctrine but also for their practice and the example set by his saints: It's the "Ave Maria" to be Mary.
is what I would recall should read a few lines of St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort in his booklet THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY (of the rose 15 to 20) over those six chapters (called Rose), the great Holy beautifully explains what this simple prayer of the Hail Mary. But it begins by stating: "The salutation Angelica is so sublime and higher than the Blessed Alan de la Roche was believed that no creature can understand and that only Jesus Christ, Son of Mary can explain it. "
. WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE AVE MARIA?
. 
The first part ("God Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women ") has been revealed by the Holy Trinity. Indeed, it is the Archangel Gabriel who brings heaven and pronounce the first time to announce the the Lady, God the Son was incarnate in her womb. "The Virgin Mary was, says St. Louis-Marie, this divine greeting in order to bring to fruition the issue more sublime and important in the world, namely the Incarnation of the Eternal Word, the reconciliation between God and men and the Redemption human. Ambassador of the good news was the Archangel Gabriel, one of the first princes of the heavenly host. "
The second part (holy thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb ") has been added by Santa Isabel, the day of the Visitation, inspired by the Holy Spirit, when the Blessed Virgin Mary came to visit. And the Church in the First Council of Ephesus (year 431) suggested the conclusion, after condemn the error of Nestorius and define that the Blessed. Virgin is truly the Mother of God and ordered to invoke the Blessed Virgin. Virgin under this glorious title, with these words: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death." .
IS THE AVE MARIA IS A POWERFUL PRAYER FOR THE THANKSGIVING GOD?
since I doubt our salvation comes from this simple prayer: "For the angelic salutation, said San Luis Ma Grignon de Montfort, God became a man, a virgin became the Mother of God, the souls of the righteous were released from limbo, repaired the ruins of Heaven and the empty thrones were again occupied, the sin was forgiven, we returned the grace, diseases healed, the dead resurrected, called the exiles, the Sma relented. Trinidad and men were granted eternal life. "
Therefore the angelic greeting has been the means by which the mystery of the Holy Incarnation and wine was our salvation. But she is more than that, if you can say, is the channel through which God has given all his due today and will until the end of the world: "The Hail Mary has faith and hope of the patriarchs, prophets and the Apostles. Is the constancy and fortitude of the martyrs, the science of the doctors, the perseverance of the confessors s and religious life, "says the Blessed Alan de la Roche. And after referring to these words of Alan B., successor to Santo Domingo, the preacher Vendée del Rosario added:" It's the new song of the law of grace, joy of angels and men and the terror and confusion of the demons. "
. IS THE AVE MARIA IS A PRAYER NECESSARY FOR YOU TO GET THE SAVED?
. 
The experience, he says, is enough to prove it: all who bear the mark reprobation have a horror of the Hail Mary (like the heretics "who are all sons of Satan"), or neglect to say it or say just warm rush. The Holy remember that those who profess novel doctrines condemned by the Church condemned in his time (the Jansenists) "despite his apparent piety, neglected too much the devotion of the Rosary and frequently tear the hearts of those around them, with pretexts beautiful world. " Today we see, even today, that new doctrines condemned by the Church, if not the same as in the eighteenth century, are always accompanied by this sad sign of disapproval of God: the abandonment of devotion to the Rosary.
But to confirm this truth San Luis Ma referred to the testimony itself of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Blessed Alan de la Roche. Among the most remarkable things that she told him, told him: "neglect, boredom, and aversion to the Hail Mary, who restored the world are likely signal immediate and eternal condemnation" and unlike "those who have devotion to this divine greeting have a great sign of predestination ... or not see clearly, add San Luis Ma, how a devotion so small can be an infallible sign of eternal salvation and failing, a sign of disapproval. However, there is nothing more true. "
.
CONCLUSION
..
Who better than St. Louis Grignon de Montfort Ma may help us understand the wonderful fruits that the pious recitation of the Hail Mary will work in our souls? Is not it true that the souls recommending the Rosary was that inevitably got their sanctification or conversion?
Therefore listen carefully to their words and above all let us resolve to implement this pious devotion to pray the Rosary daily and frequent recourse to Our Lady for the Hail Mary: It is infallibly sure, also for us the graces we need to save.
" Introduce at least fifty Hail Marys daily, each contains fifteen precious stones that appeal more to Mary than the riches of the earth. What could not, then wait for their generosity? She is our mother and friend. Is the Empress of the universe and loves us more than what all the mothers and queens together loved any man. Because, says St. Augustine, the love of the Blessed. Virgin leads to all the natural love of all men and all the Angels ...
"The Hail Mary is a heavenly and divine dew, which drop into a predestined soul tells wonderful for fertility produce all kinds of virtues. The more the soul is watered by this prayer, the more it illuminates the spirit more he embraces the heart and the stronger against their enemies. "
. EXAMPLE: The Ave Maria attempts to sinners and heretics the grace of conversion.
