Whenever I say Hail Mary, the court of heaven rejoices and the earth is lost in wonderment And I despise
the world; my heart is brim full of the love of God. When I say Hail Mary: All my fears wilt and die and my passions are quelled. If I say Hail Mary: Devotion grows within me and sorrow for sin awakens. When I say Hail Mary, hope is made strong in my breast and the dew of consolation falls on my soul more and more Because I say Hail Mary. and my spirit rejoices and sorrow fades awaywhen I say Hail Mary. by Blessed Alan de la Roche
