Help now and at the hour of death
Praying to Mary
The prayer of the Three Ave
Do you know this very simple prayer?
Received in a revelation from the Blessed Virgin to Saint Mechtilde (13th century), and spread throughout the world by Saint Leonard of Port-Maurice and Saint Alphonsus Liguori, it consists of saying three Hail Marys every morning and every evening in honor of the Holy Trinity.
The first in honor of the Omnipotence conferred by the Father on Our Lady; the second in honor of the Wisdom given to her by the Son; the third in honor of her Mercy received from the Holy Spirit. In return, the Blessed Virgin promises to assist us at the hour of our death. Countless graces have been obtained through daily fidelity to this devotion. Certainly, there are many ways to implore the Blessed Virgin. Nevertheless, this one deserves to be rediscovered because of its effectiveness and simplicity.
3 minutes each morning + 3 minutes each evening = numerous graces.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

For a particular grace, to be recited for nine consecutive days
At the beginning of the last century, Father Jean-Baptiste de Chémery became the promoter of the Three Ave Maria prayers. A faithful person had the idea of reciting three Hail Marys for nine days for a specific intention. Her prayer was answered, and she came to tell Father about it.
Prudently, Father asked several acquaintances, who did not know each other, to practice this "novena". All were answered! Father saw this as a confirmation from the Blessed Virgin.
That is how he wrote the following novena, in line with the revelation of the Blessed Virgin to Saint Mechtilde : to honor each person of the Trinity for the privileges granted to the Blessed Virgin.
