“All Generations Shall Call Me Blessed”

Written By Dan Piwowarczyk

“Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.” — Luke 1:48 (Douay-Rheims Bible)

“All generations shall call me blessed,” said Mary. Our Lady’s prophetic words, which have been preserved in Scripture for 2,000 years, are fulfilled with every Hail Mary:

Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Who are these foretold generations that recite such a prayer or even so much as take the time to call Mary “blessed?”

They are Catholics, who recite the Hail Mary in the Rosary, a prayer which can best be described as praying the Bible.
