After watching this video, I pray Hail Marys all the time, If I see a homeless man I pray one for him, If something annoys me, I pray a Hail Mary for it.
It has changed my life for the better. Thank you for posting this video. God bless you 🙏🏻

I always pray a Hail Mary when I hear emergency vehicle sirens.

Absolutely amazing. I’m only 20 years old and wasn’t raised religious. But I became Catholic a couple years ago, and again and again what’s becoming apparent is to have devotion to the Rosary.

I’m edging into the Catholic faith. I came across this video when trying to research why there are so many Hail Marys in the rosary. I guess this helps to explain that 😂

My mother taught us kids to do this whenever we hear the siren of a fire engine or ambulance. Mom was right!

[silverfox]

It's videos like this that we need to see more often. Recently I too started saying Hail Mary's at different times of the day for various reasons. I think Mary sent me this video. Godbless all of you who were involved in this. Boy this sure beats listening to the news.

That Ave Maria didn't just save the woman's life. It transformed herself and her intercessor into desperately needed missionary-evangelists for the power of prayer, God blessed them both.

[capecodder]

A great story.
I will now do the same whenever I see an ambulance, fire truck or an emergency situation.
It's so important to hear stories like this to teach us and inspire us.

Jesus once said to St. Faustina: "I detest the smallest sin. I cannot love a soul which is stained with sin; but when it repents, there is no limit to My generosity toward it. My mercy embraces and justifies it. With My mercy, I pursue sinners along all their paths, and My Heart rejoices when they return to Me. I forget the bitterness with which they fed My Heart and rejoice at their return" Diary entry (1726).

Praise God now and forever! I can relate. I, with a group of Nurses and my companion Nutritionists were caught in the midst of gunfire in a rural part of Southern Philippines. And after running away from the threat of being burned inside the Mayor’s house where we were accommodated, I was shaking of fright knelt to the ground to avoid getting hit in the darkness, my shaking hands covering my ears from the sound of armalite guns firing, head down, eyes closed and prayed as the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary nuns taught me in grade school, Dear Mama Mary, please put your mantle over us and prayed one Hail Mary. I remember shaking and praying ever so slowly meaning every word and when I got to “pray for us…” I noticed I was not shaking anymore and I ended my prayer and thanked Mama Mary and our Lord Jesus and feeling relaxed, not afraid to die in the grass fields where we hid, gunfire stopped soon after, dawn came after many hours, and we’re safe. Thank you, Mama Mary. I saw the power, then, of one Hail Mary.
Once again thank you for sharing your witness to praying sincerely one Hail Mary. May we all pray the 153 Hail Mary daily with all sincerity, joy, and fervor. Amen🙏🏼❤️

Every siren I hear, and I live close to a hospital, every flashing light I see and break downs on the side of the road.... Jesus, help people in trouble and Bless those who run after them.
Our Father, 3 Aves and a Glory Be.

I beg that my poor prayers be as efficacious as this good man's.

And when it's my time of need I hope someone is praying for me poor soul

[tomcha]

Amen! I do the same every time I see an ambulance or fire truck or a police car responding to a call. My kids used to when they were little. Gotta show this video to my kids on the power of prayer!

[Lxigln]

What a story, thank you for sharing.

In my daily rosary, I pray one Haily Mary for every family member alive and deceased for every neighbour in need of God's grace.

[Dana-LuLu]

I add in prayers when driving by cemeteries too - you never know who in the may not be getting prayers said for them any longer - sometimes folks just assume "good people" go right to Heaven - but we don't know for sure - so I keep them all in prayers - Our Lady will apply prayers for those already in Heaven to other souls in need - NO PRAYER IS EVER WASTED!!! Love this video - sharing with my other Prayer Warriors!! pax/caritas - D

So true, on returning home from a vacation my two sons were in a car accident ahead of us, we came upon the vehicle, I didn't see how anyone could survive it. I couldn't see into the car (not realizing it was because of the airbags. I went to the back of the vehicle to verify it was their rental, I said, 'Hail Mary, ' forgetting and being totally unable to say the remainder of the prayer. The driver son, ripped the airbag and said, 'we're ok, ' One was life flighted, the other in the ambulance with me. A woman of color awaiting news of her nephew comforted me in the waiting room saying the Lord would take care of us. A doctor later reassured me that both of my sons would COMPLETELY recover, ?what doctor promises results? It happened but took a few months. Mary never fails us.

[nysavvy]

I do the same. Make a habit out of saying Hail Marys throughout the day for others and yourself. Extremely powerful and remarkable. Praise Jesus and His Blessed Mother. Amen

[alfachiara]

Wow this is incredible, ONE HAIL MARY CAN BE SO POWERFUL!

[peterziobromobile]

Amazing do the rosary daily always pray for someone or something.

[devarajujoseph]
