Ave Maria Prayer Song

you're asking a pair of diverse questions, one being with reference to the which capacity of Ave Maria and the different approximately what's an intercession. Ave Maria: The words are Latin for "Hail Mary" and are based on the biblical account contained in the Gospel of Luke which describes the Angel Gabriel coming to the Virgin Mary to tell her she have been chosen by God to undergo the Christ baby, an come across customary as "The Annunciation." The Ave Maria prayer has 2 areas, the 1st being a connection with what became into supposedly suggested on the Annunciation. the 2nd section inquiring for Mary's intercession. Intercession: Catholics have faith that Mary and all of the saints in heaven can pray to God on our behalf, in plenty the comparable way as maximum believers ask friends to wish for them. Catholics don't have faith that Mary can answer prayers, yet that having her praying for them -- interceding -- is effective.

There is no difference between the prayer and the song. The "Ave Maria" (which means "Hail Mary") is simply the Hail Mary prayer set to music.

Ave Maria is indeed the most beautiful song I've ever heard. But sorry, I don't know the diff between the prayer and song. You should hear the song sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir--it will bring tears to your eyes!

Ave Maria - Hail Mary,
gratia plena - full of grace,
Dominus tecum - the Lord is with thee.
Benedictus qui venit mulieribus- blessed art thou among women, et benedicte fructus ventris, Jesus - and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Sancta Maria - Holy Mary,
Mater de Dei - Mother of God,
oremus peccatoribus - pray for us sinners,
ahora et in hora de muertes - now and at the hour of our death. Amen
The prayer has been set to music several times. The most famous are those by Gounod and Strauss.
It can be sung in the original Latin or in English, German or French.
No one knows for sure who first put together the salutation of the angel at the Annunciation with the simple plea for Mary's prayers that comprises the second half. It is a much beloved prayer for all Catholics and most of us pray it daily.

That song is the most beautiful song I've ever had the privilege to hear inside or outside of Church. It brings tears to my eyes every time I am blessed to be within earshot of it being sung. The prayer, well I don't know what the big deal is. I've rejected most of my Catholic upbringing and education but still, that song! Wow! Thank You for reminding me about it, I might go to midnight mass if I can talk my Girlfriend into it; just ot hear that wonderful song.

They are the same, with some minor changes to make it more musical.
The original song was written in Latin. Here are the words:
Ave Maria
(Franz Shubert)
Ave Maria
Hail Mary
Gratia plena
Ful of grace
Maria, gratia plena
Mary, full of grace
Maria, gratia plena
Mary, full of grace
Ave, ave dominus
Hail, hail, lord
Dominus tecum
The Lord is with thee.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Blessed art thou among women
Et benedictus
And blessed
Et benedictus fructus ventris
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Ventris tuae, Jesus.
Thy womb, Jesus
Ave Maria
Hail Mary
Ave Maria
Holy mary
Mater Dei
Mother of God
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Pray for us sinners
Ora pro nobis
Pray for us
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Pray for us sinners
Nunc et in hora mortis
Now and at the hour of our death
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Now and at the hour of our death
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Now and at the hour of our death
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Now and at the hour of our death
Ave Maria
Hail Mary
My Latin's a bit rusty, and I might have made a few errors, but that's how I remember it.

There is more than one "Ave Maria" song; that is to say, it has been set to music more than once.
Look on the left side of the linked site:

It was written in Latin by Bach. It's not associated with the prayer at all - except for the name, which simply means Hail Mary.
