It was on EWTN...

My statement stands.

Does the Catholic church make it mandatory to pray Hail Mary?

No. You rarely hear it prayed in some liberal Catholic churches.

Aren't you the one making it a big deal? We have explained that the Hail Mary prayer is not a part of the Mass itself but you may have heard it recited on TV in conjunction with the Mass in some special observance. Why isn't that the answer to your original question?

No I am not making it a big deal. I really don't care what the RCC does or does not do. It has no impact on me. I was asking WHY is it a big deal...

 

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

My statement stands.

So they don't televise masses on EWTN? Must of been Anglican on EWTN LOL...

That's not what I said. Your inability to accurately understand a statement explains a lot.

 

[PaulCyp1]

Of course not. It is just one of many prayers the Church provides us with, to use as we wish. In addition, of course, to simply praying in our own words.

You seem a bit slow, please follow the thread. I said I saw it on EWTN...you said I didn't and it was not a catholic mass...I said it was on EWTN, a RCC TV network...you said your statement that I didn't see it on EWTN and it was not a RCC mass still stands...I said it must have been an Anglican mass on EWTN LOL

...that IS what you said...

After Mass it is not uncommon to have a prayer request, normally for the persecuted Christians around the world, for the Pope, for vocations to the priesthood etc.

The televised service might have had this, technically not part of the Mass as it happens after Mass

I am not being pedantic, there are rules about what is and isn’t allowed at Mass

You're very confused. Avila Surfer absolutely did not say anything like that.

Read through the posts to date and you will find a remarkable consistency and agreement in the replies given to you--both from Catholics and other Christians--all pointing out that the recitation of the Hail Mary is not a normal part of the Mass and that what you saw on EWTN most likely was something else, possibly something that followed the conclusion of the Mass. There is nothing there that is questionable.

 

[Yarddog]

I would think so since I believe they say it at every mass...

Where did you hear that? The Mass is focuses on Jesus, not Mary. The Hail Mary may be recited during Mass a few times each year.

Maybe, but from what I remember it was during the service. Maybe it was a special Marian holiday mass??

That would be very odd, maybe during the homily?

I saw it on EWTN. It may have been one of those few times a year...

I posted exactly what I said and his responses to me.

Don't think so, the whole congregation was saying it with the priest

I was attending a small parish in Texas recently that had a prayer service prior to the Mass and prayed the rosary for that. I found that prayer before Mass is a great way to calm the spirit and get oneself into the proper reverence for the Mass proper.
