The Power of the Hail Mary's Opening
Share
Often perceived as a simple greeting, the first word of the Hail Mary, 'Hail,' has deep biblical roots connected to the prophetic messages from the prophet Zephaniah. Dr. Sri explains how the word encourages us to find strength and joy in God's promises in the midst of seasons of waiting and suffering.
Snippet from the Show
"Just as Zephaniah called daughter Zion to rejoice, so does the Archangel Gabriel call Mary to rejoice."
Zephaniah 3: 14-15
Sing, Daughter Zion;
shout aloud, Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
The Lord has taken away your punishment,
he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;
never again will you fear any harm.
Luke 1:28
And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
