The Hail Mary Prayer is Biblical
That is why this prayer is sometimes called the Angelic Salutation. The Hail Mary prayer is divided into three sections:
"And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women."
"And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost. And she cried out with a loud voice and said: Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord." and finally...
When Elizabeth proclaims that Mary is blessed among women, she is telling how special Mary truly is. Through Mary, Jesus entered the world. Because she said "yes" to God, Jesus was able to come and save all. This is the way God choose to become man, through Mary. The final phrases of the prayer are the prayer of the Church. At the Council of Ephesus in the year 431 the Church declared that this phrase was worthy to use when praying. You are asking Mary to go to present your needs to God on your behalf and to unite you to God. Because of her closeness to God in her relationship with her son, she can obtain blessings for you. These pieces were put together and formed the Hail Mary prayer and was in common use as early as the year 1196.
