Just for fun, I posted the words of a beautiful song about Mary. And I won't apologize for recognizing Mary's role in Salvation History.

Go ahead and believe what you believe, but don't disrespect my religion. I don't need you to try to save my soul because God already sent His Only beloved Son and He gave him a real human mother. Not someone to worship but yes, someone to love, respect and emulate.

Woman Who Says Yes

"Mary, maiden true,
Woman who says yes,
Pray for us now
And at the hour of our death.
Please, bring us to Jesus, our Lord and Master true.
Your Son and your God,
The One for W.hom you live.

In the fullness of our time,
A woman bore a son.
Found to be with child but protected by her husband's love,
She dared to say: "yes" to the angel's way;
Such courage, and strength, and grace!

"Mary, be not afraid",
Were Gabriel's words that day,
"Highly favored one, pure bearer of the Holy Son.
Spouse of the Holy Spirit,
Covered by His Love.
Magnify the Lord now,
Bring joy to everyone.

Fr. Jim McKearney

Thank you for the song, I was just looking around for my book "The Secret of the Rosary" by St. Louis De Montfort in which he has a prayer about the Hail Mary. When I find it I'll post it. It's a good one.
