The Hail Mary

This new hymn, the Hail Mary, is in praise of the Mother of God and is sung directly to her; nevertheless it greatly glorifies the Most Blessed Trinity because any homage that we pay Our Lady returns inevitably to God Who is the cause of all her virtues and perfections. When we honor Our Lady we truly glorify God. God the Father is glorified because we are praising His most pure Mother, and God the Holy Spirit is glorified because we are lost in admiration before the graces with which He has filled His Spouse.
