“Full of Grace” is clearly the best translation for ketcharitomene. What is awkward, however, is that the Douay (and Confraternity) versions go on to say in verse 30, that Mary has found “grace” with God. The RSVCE chnages this, so that it has “Hail, full of grace,” and you have found “favor” with God. This makes the most sense grammatically, as we wouldn’t normally say, "you have found ‘grace’ with God. It does seem that “full of grace” is first, and “have found favor” should be second. I will be interested to see if someone with knowledge can explain this.

Dont fall for evil traps.The Douay is a direct Eng. translation of Jeromes Latin. It reliably served the church for many years. Now you want to tell me that God fooled us all those years? Gods word is truth! Since Vat 2. we have been infiltrated by all sorts that will find the gates to Heaven very narow.We also have good religious people who are a little naive and have genuinely been mislead.(Satan loves to sift us) Just look at the thousands of Christian fellowships outside the ‘Chair of St. Peter’. Satan is so clever that these people are misled on the logical teachings of John 6. When Jesus’ deciples left in droves over the eating of the flesh and blood Jesus did not say ,’ come back, you misunderstood me’ No…Gods word is truth. St. Thomas refers to Adam and Eve as having ‘original Knowledge’. This Grace they lost and earned for us all, original sin. Basically ‘original knowledge’ means to be in total obedience and harmony with God. Now I put to you that God favoured Mary with the GRACE of original knowledge. The only human being ever to receive this ultimate gift of grace since the fall of man. This is logical as God would protect His mother and spouse from the cunning evilness of Lucifer. I also put to you that God used Mary to introduce His Son, the Living Word, upon us. At that time through her utmost obedience she took a back seat to the 3 years of Christs ministry
and the focus was on Christ the Living Word of God. When Christ returns, God will use Mary again to introduce and announce His return. Some of the messages that are being received from Mary world wide, indicate very strongly that Christ is coming and the wrath of God will come with Him. Dont be fooled by modern translaters. 50 years ago I was a gay person and I used to jump around with gayity. If I went around shouting ‘I am gay and am full of gayity’ now, what would be the interpretation?? Believe me Gods messenger the archangel Gabriel greeted Mary, the utimately graced human being ever to exist, “Hail full of grace”. Read the Apocalypse Chap. 11 verse 19 to Chap 12 verse 6. remembering that originally these writings had no chapter or verse. This practice of numbering only originated in the 17th century. You will clearly see that after John sees the Ark, he goes on to desribe the arch which is logical as the ark had not been seen for some 600 years and all Christians and Jews would have been attentive and eager to find out what the ark looked like. As you can see, Mary is in heaven body and soul along side her spouse and Son. Now that’s not just favour. That is the grace of God that we can only dream of. If you contact me, I will email you or anyone else a copy of my thesis on Mary ‘Hail full of grace.’. terrythrop@telkomsa.net.
