Learn to Pray with Mary,

the Mother of Jesus

 

 

The Hail Mary Prayer and the Rosary

 

  The Hail Mary words are taken from the Bible.

  When we say these words we are talking to Mary, just like the angel Gabriel and her cousin Elizabeth did.

  Then we ask Mary to pray for us.

   
 Here are two websites from the Passionist Missionaries about the Hail Mary                        

 

     Children Learn to Pray--Hail Mary

        Children Pray: a Scriptural Rosary  

 

  Telling Grown-Ups About These Links

    The Passionist Missionaries have created a marvelous site to teach children to pray the Hail Mary and how to  pray and meditate on the Rosary. There is a page telling how to pray the rosary, an introduction to each set of mysteries, and a page for each mystery. The pages use classical art depictions of the mysteries. The font size is also just right for the younger primary grades.
