In those moments when you haven't had time to pray a rosary for the day,
"Just Say One Hail Mary."
Hail Mary,
Full of grace!
The Lord is with You.
Blessed are You among women,
And blessed is the fruit of Your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
The Hail Mary was first exclaimed by Gabriel the Archangel (Lk 1:26-38). The prayer, said as part of a full rosary, prayed in confidence of the intercession of Our Lady, "is like a blow on my [satan's] head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my [satan's] end."

Eucharistic Miracle:
"In the Cathedral of Brussels there are many artistic testimonies to a Eucharistic miracle verified in 1370. Desecrators stole Hosts and struck at them with knives as a way of showing their rebellion. From these particles came a flow of living blood."
God's love and peace to you this season.
