HERE IS A "HAIL MARY" ALTERNATIVE for PROTESTANTS, CALLED "HAIL JESUS"...I know many protestants object to "praying to mary" (albeit Catholics will object that they are not praying to mary but asking Mary to intercede in prayer for them...their reasoning being that persons & saints who lived superior lives than us have more powerful & effective prayers, and therefore the more we ask them to intercede for us via "intercessory prayer", the better are our chances of a good outcome. Thus, they are not really praying to Mary in the same way we pray directly to God & Jesus.

Hail Jesus, Full of Grace & Love, Blessed Art Thou Amongst All, and Blessed is Thy Mother Mary Who Carried Ye in her Womb. Holy Jesus, Son of God, Pray for us Sinners now & in the hour of our Death. Amen.
