SHE IS THE MOTHER OF GOD. SHE IS THE MOTHER OF JESUS. SHE IS THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN. SHE IS OUR MOTHER.
She is Love.
Why do we pray to her?
Because She can help us. She is our advocate and in a Motherly way we can go to Her for help. She will teach us through prayer and help us to know Her SON. In the most difficult times we can go to Her and She will help us through. She never refuses any one who goes to Her for help. She is always there to listen to us.
What is the Hail Mary Prayer?
Because She is the Mother of God and Christ. Because She is THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN we address Her in the proper manner in the Hail Mary Prayer ~ As one would address a QUEEN:
HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE, THE LORD IS WITH THEE, BLESSED ARE THOU AMONG WOMEN, AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF YOUR WOMB....
JESUS
HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD....
All of this is a most appropriate and respectful way to invoke Her and to ask for her to:
PRAY FOR US SINNERS, NOW.... AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH.
