Is saying a Hail Mary sinful?

[Katie777]

For further understanding…

We worship God alone with Latria.

We venerate Mary with Hyperdulia. The Hail Mary acknowledges the fact that she is the Mother of God. We ask Mary to pray for us…

We venerate saints with Dulia.

Hth.

No of course not. The Hail Mary is actually scriptural. “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee, Blessed art Thou amongst women and Blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb Jesus” is from Luke if I’m not mistaken.
“Holy Mary Mother of God”- If Jesus is 100% God 100% Man, Mary cannot just be the Mother of His Humanity, but also His Divinity.
“Pray for Us Sinners, now and at the hour of our death”- Think about it like this. Would you ask a friend to pray for you? Yes, probably. So you would definitely ask Jesus’ own Mother to pray for you right?
God Bless!!!

Very good point, but the Protestants definition of worship is exclusively what you show as Divine Worship. Hence some if the confusion.

 

[Uliana988]

Yeah, so nobody sinned when saying what they said to Mary.

 

[UltimateChikorita]

the words of an angel are somehow sinful

Mary, the tabernacle, is in heaven. She is worshipping Jesus right now.

 

[Gabika50]

It does quote scripture and when she said “from this day all generations will call me blessed,” it was a great chance for the almighty to interefer and say “wrong answer lady” but he did not…

 

[Carmelite1983]

No
Asking Mary to pray for you is not worshipping her.
We love and venerate her.
We worship only God.
Mary is the surest way to Jesus.
Think of her as a guide, or Sherpa to the Lord.
It’s actially very beautiful.
