Pressed for Time

How many good intentions get pushed off the edges of our days by the press of daily duties! The rosary is often one of these that we reluctantly put off for tomorrow as we see the hour growing late.

On days like this, it's good to remember The Golden Hail Mary, a charming verse that reminds us that even one decade of Our Lady's prayer carries weight when said sincerely:

The Golden Hail Mary

One Hail Mary with love and thought said
Is better than volumes of prayers read.
If time and one's duties prevent a long prayer,
Just say one Hail Mary with fervor and care.

We pray:

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee:
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
