The Three Hail Marys Novena is a special Roman Catholic devotion to the Divine Mother. It seeks the intercession of the Virgin Mary for purity and forgiveness.
It is a very established tradition in the Catholic Church dating back to the 12th century of praying the Three Hail Marys three times a day.
This Novena is recited in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s three virtues associated with the Holy Trinity, to whom she is perfectly united in heaven: the power of The Father, the wisdom of The Son, and the tender mercy of Mary.
St. Mechtilde of Hackeborn, a German Benedictine nun is credited with this prayer. She had three visions of the Virgin Mary who told her about this special prayer.
Our Mother also revealed to St. Gertrude the Great, “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.”
You have to pray to Three Hail Mary Novena sincerely every day as a perpetual novena to receive special graces from the Virgin Mary.
This novena can be recited at any point in time in a day, preferably upon waking up or before sleeping.
