Ave Maria!
On this first Saturday in May, Mary’s month, the Holy Father Pope Francis prays the Rosary at St Mary Major in Rome. Yes it is a long video but when else do you get a chance to say the Rosary with the pope on the first Saturday in May. Of course, it is all in Italian.
I have not yet watched the whole thing but I imagine that you can spot some grey-habitted friars of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. If you do, please leave a comment giving the time counter.
Ave Maria!
I saw an FI Friar at 20:38
Dear Friars, could I share with you and your readers the Hail Mary in Italian?
By the way, I have seen some beautiful photos of Pope Francis on the Page of Radio Vaticano on Facebook. They have published so many beautiful photos of the Pope!
I’m seeing the video right now and I’m glad to seeing Pope greeting people. He is very cheerful person. That’s amazing! He is a charismatic Pope (um Papa carismático)!
Ave Maria piena di grazia, (Hail Mary, full of grace)
il Signore è con te, (the Lord is with thee)
Tu sei benedetta tra le donne e (blessed art thou among women and)
benedetto è il frutto del tuo seno, (blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus)
Gesù.
Santa Maria, Madre di Dio, (Hail Mary, Mother of God)
prega per noi peccatori, (pray for us sinners)
adesso e nell’ora della nostra morte, (now and at the hour of our death)
Amen!
