Three Hail Mary Devotion

Heaven opened by the practice of The Three Hail Marys for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son." John 3:16

"The love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:5

Devotion of the Three Hail Marys was revealed by our Blessed Mother herself to the Benedictine mystic, St. Mechtilde (13th Century) with the promise of a good death, if she was faithful to it, every day. In the Book of Revelations of St. Mechtilde we read:

While Mechtilde was beseeching the glorious Virgin to assist her in her hour of death, Our Lady appeared to her and said: I will certainly. But I also want you to say three special Hail Mary's to me every day.

The first will be in honor of God the Father, Whose omnipotence raised my soul so high above every other creature that, after God, I have the greatest power in Heaven and on earth. In the hour of your death, I will use that power of God the Father to keep any hostile power far from you.

The second Hail Mary will be said in honor of the Son of God, Who communicated His inscrutable wisdom to me. In the hour of your death, I will fill your soul with the light of that wisdom, so that all the darkness of ignorance and error will be dispelled.

The third Hail Mary will be in honor of God the Holy Ghost, Who filled my soul with the sweetness of His love and tenderness and mercy. In your last hour, I will then change the bitterness of death into divine sweetness and delight."

It is written in St. Gertrude’s revelations: "While this Saint sang the Hail Mary, at the matins of the Annunciation, she suddenly saw spring out from the Heart of the Father and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, three bright flames which penetrated the Heart of the Holy Virgin." Then she heard the following words: "After the Power of the Father, the Wisdom of the Son and the merciful Tenderness of the Holy Spirit, nothing approaches the Power, the Wisdom and the merciful Tenderness of Mary."

During prayer she saw our Blessed Mother in the form of a white lily with three branches before the Most Blessed Trinity. This revelation confirmed the title of "the Immaculate Lily of the Most Holy Trinity", which saints had given to Her. The saint learned on that occasion that the blinding whiteness of the lily signified the immaculate purity of the Holy Mother of God which was never stained with even the slightest venial sin. The three branches signified Our Lady's participation in the omnipotence of the Father, the wisdom of the Son, and the charity of the Holy Ghost. 

Then Our Blessed Mother spoke to St. Gertrude and said:

"To any soul who faithfully prays the Three Hail Marys, I will appear at the hour of death in a splendor so extraordinary that it will fill the soul with heavenly consolation."

Immaculate Lily of the Holy Trinity, we pray Three Hail Marys to you in honor of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Pray for us and for all those for whom we pray through this ministry.
