Full of Grace Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales

It's the last day of the month of May - the last day of the Month of Mary. As we focus our prayer on Our Lady, you can listen to our audio series ‘Full of Grace’. We pick a different language each day for the Hail Mary.



Today, we conclude by listening to the Hail Mary sung in Latin by the Schola Gregoriana recorded some years ago at the Pallottine Seminary in Ołtarzew, Poland.



You're listening to the Ave Maria from Gregorian Vespers in honour of Saint Vincent Pallotti (Vesperae de Confessore non Pontifice). The Schola Gregoriana was conducted by Father Dariusz Smolarek.



Supporting our ‘Full of Grace’ series, many people have sent us – through Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp voice notes and email – recitations of this sacred prayer that we pray through the decades of the Rosary.



The aim is that we stand in solidarity with believers the world over and entrust our joys and sorrows (and everything in-between) to Mary.

Today we pray the Hail Mary in the East Slavic language of Ukrainian.



Historical linguists trace the origin of the Ukrainian language to the Old East Slavic of the early medieval state of Kyivan Rus. The language developed into a form called the Ruthenian language. Along with Ruthenian, on the territory of modern Ukraine, the Kyiv version (izvod) of Church Slavonic was also used in liturgical services.



Approximately 40 million people worldwide can speak Ukrainian.
