  1 I    |     ANGELICAL SALUTATION~Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with
  2 I    |             how most pure, how most full, how most firm and secure,
  3 I    |          fault in her; she was most full and abounding, because of
  4 I    |             Son of Man."~Again, how full of grace was Mary by the
  5 I    |            when it is said to her: "Full of grace." And truly full,
  6 I    |           Full of grace." And truly full, and ever full, as St. Anselm
  7 I    |            And truly full, and ever full, as St. Anselm testifies,
  8 I    |         devoutly exclaims: "O Woman full and overfull of grace, of
  9 I    |           she is rightly saluted as full of grace; because of the
 10 II   |       ETERNAL PUNISHMENT~Hail Mary, full of grace. Let us all utter
 11 II   |          the devils, and sepulchers full of the filth of vice. Woe,
 12 II   |            men fair, but within are full of dead men's bones, and
 13 III  |     Augustine says: "Mary, thou art full of grace, which thou hast
 14 III  |             19.) Oh, how bitter and full of fear is this sea to the
 15 III  |       Egyptians! Oh, how bitter and full of fear is this Mary to
 16 III  |           of us wretched beings, so full of darkness, in the light
 17 III  |         looked upon all things, and full of the glory of the Lord
 18 III  |             The work of the Lord is full of His glory; the most excellent
 19 III  |          Mary. This work, as it was full of the grace of the Lord
 20 III  |          the Lord in this world, is full of the glory of the Lord
 21 IV   |           and affectionate name, so full of grace and so noble, so
 22 IV   |             to Mary; Mary is called full of grace; the overshadowing
 23 IV   |    purification, and thou, a wretch full of sins, submittest not
 24 IV   |         this visitation of Mary was full of charity. In the description
 25 V    |       EXCEEDINGLY USEFUL~Hail Mary, full of grace. It has been shown
 26 V    |            deserves the salutation "full of grace." Consider, dearly
 27 V    |             For the Virgin Mary, so full of grace, condemned the
 28 V    |            of which Mary is called "full of grace." The grace of
 29 V    |          The grace of which she was full was certainly immense. An
 30 V    |            immense vessel cannot be full, unless that is also immense
 31 V    |           so immense a capacity was full of grace, it was fitting
 32 V    |         world, so that the earth is full of her mercy; and the sublimity
 33 VI   |            she herself is the grace full of life and truth, who is
 34 VI   |          the Mother of Him who was "full of grace and truth"? And
 35 VI   |        seven privileges, privileges full of immense graces, granted
 36 VI   |              above all men, she was full of grace. St. Jerome saith: "
 37 VI   |      nourished God from her breasts full of heaven, for many years
 38 VI   |      Whither would she, who was now full of God, hasten, unless into
 39 VII  |              Gratia plena." O truly full, and fully full! Gabriel
 40 VII  |             O truly full, and fully full! Gabriel had not yet said: "
 41 VII  |            the Son of God, Mary was full (of grace), how much more
 42 VII  |            already a thousand times full (of grace), was saluted
 43 VII  |       therefore, is Mary said to be full of the illumination of wisdom,
 44 VII  |            us consider that Mary is full of the illumination of wisdom
 45 VII  |          return home the day of the full moon" (VII, 19 f.) This
 46 VII  |         came back on the day of the full moon-of that moon, I say,
 47 VII  |             therefore, is Mary. The full moon is Mary full of grace.
 48 VII  |         Mary. The full moon is Mary full of grace. Well is Mary compared
 49 VII  |           moon! Behold, if Mary was full of the light of wisdom,
 50 VII  |        conceived Him; how much more full was she, when she so wonderfully
 51 VII  |            us consider that Mary is full of the outpouring of grace
 52 VII  |          she could well be called a full sea according to that word: "
 53 VII  |              Ecclus. XXIV, 25.) How full is this sea, how full of
 54 VII  |           How full is this sea, how full of grace is Mary, St. Jerome
 55 VII  |            declares, saying: "Truly full, because on others it is
 56 VII  |          This sea, therefore, being full, let us hear it roar against
 57 VII  |           fullness thereof, let the full sea, let the full Mary,
 58 VII  |           let the full sea, let the full Mary, roar. Let it roar
 59 VII  |       speaking of her: "If a vessel full of liquid is moved, it is
 60 VII  |          that Mary is in very truth full of the riches of a good
 61 VII  |             the riches of this most full earth, Mary, are the works,
 62 VII  |           gifts, that she should be full of grace, she who gave glory
 63 VII  |            us consider that Mary is full of the unction of mercy
 64 VII  |            them away, when they are full" (Kings IV, 4. ) This woman
 65 VII  |     benefits, which in Mary are all full of the oil of mercy. Well,
 66 VII  |            us consider that Mary is full of the fecundity of the
 67 VII  |         elevated, and the earth was full of His majesty" (Is. VI,
 68 VII  |           the house of her body was full of the majesty of the Incarnate
 69 VII  |             is she alone said to be full of grace, who alone obtained
 70 VII  |        grace." O truly happy house, full of so happy a fecundity!
 71 VII  |        Bernard saith: "Well was she full of grace, who both kept
 72 VII  |       consider in what way Mary was full of the perfection of the
 73 VII  | Ecclesiasticus: "My abode is in the full assembly of saints." Truly
 74 VII  |        willingly with those who are full of sanctity, not with those
 75 VII  |              not with those who are full of iniquity. She not only
 76 VII  |             us consider how Mary is full of the redolence of fair
 77 VII  |            fair fame. As a field is full of the scents of various
 78 VII  |         various flowers, so is Mary full of the fair fame of fragrant
 79 VII  |            son is as the smell of a full field, which God hath blessed" (
 80 VII  |           and buys that field." The full odor of this full field
 81 VII  |               The full odor of this full field is the full fair fame
 82 VII  |           of this full field is the full fair fame of Mary, her full
 83 VII  |         full fair fame of Mary, her full honor. Of this St. Jerome
 84 VII  |        besides other aromas, was so full of the odoriferous balm
 85 VII  |            Son is as the smell of a full field," as though He said: "
 86 VII  |            us consider how Mary was full of the reflection or resplendence,
 87 VII  |             The work of the Lord is full of His glory" (XXIV, 20.)
 88 VII  |           regions. For this work is full of the glory of the Lord,
 89 VII  |           alone, Lady; the world is full of thy benefits; they have
 90 VII  |            restoration." Therefore, full of the glory of the Lord
 91 VII  |            in Isaias, "The earth is full of His glory" (Is. VI, 3.)
 92 VII  |             His glory" (Is. VI, 3.) Full indeed is the whole earth,
 93 VII  |          indeed is the whole earth, full is Mary of the divine glory,
 94 VII  |         aforesaid is she said to be full of grace, who is most pleasing
 95 VII  |       Ninthly, consider how Mary is full of the joy of eternal happiness.
 96 VII  |       receive, that your joy may be full"? If, therefore, the joy
 97 VII  |           are reigning with God, is full, how much more is the joy
 98 VII  |            joy of the Mother of God full and complete? Of this plenitude
 99 VII  |         plenitude St. Jerome says: "Full indeed of grace, full of
100 VII  |               Full indeed of grace, full of God, full of virtues,
101 VII  |       indeed of grace, full of God, full of virtues, she could not

106 VII  |           alone, Lady; the world is full of thy benefits; they have

109 VII  |             His glory" (Is. VI, 3.) Full indeed is the whole earth,

114 VII  |           are reigning with God, is full, how much more is the joy
115 VII  |            joy of the Mother of God full and complete? Of this plenitude
116 VII  |         plenitude St. Jerome says: "Full indeed of grace, full of
117 VII  |               Full indeed of grace, full of God, full of virtues,
118 VII  |       indeed of grace, full of God, full of virtues, she could not
119 VII  |          wonder, then, that she has full and overfull joy and glory
120 VII  |          the kingdom, who had grace full and overflowing in her exile
121 VII  |              Anselm saith: "O Woman full and overfull of grace, of
122 VII  |            Now, therefore, O Virgin full of grace, deign to make
123 VIII |              she is rightly called "full of grace." We have now to
124 X    |            a delicate daughter, and full of all grace, dearly beloved
125 XI   |           glory. First, in her most full sanctification; secondly,
126 XI   |        saying: "She who was already full of grace found grace, that,
127 XI   |         night of guilt, in her most full holiness; secondly, because
128 XIII |            said: "In the day of the full moon he will return to his
129 XIII |          The Blessed Virgin was the full moon, when it was said to

131 XIII |        Saints, for she was not only full of grace, but overfull (
132 XIII |      signified, who said at first, "full of grace," and afterwards
133 XIII |              If, therefore, she was full of grace, whatever the Holy
134 XIII |            afterwards was more than full measure; she was then more
135 XIII |              she was then more than full, she was surpassingly full (
136 XIII |          full, she was surpassingly full (superplena). St. Bernard
137 XIII |          Spirit was coming, she was full of grace for herself (plena

140 XIV  |          art thou, because thou art full of grace. Thou hast found
141 XIV  |               Well is Mary called a full field, because she is said
142 XIV  |           because she is said to be full of grace, from whose womb
143 XV   |           all things she was rather full of grace and loving kindness,

149 XVIII|         full pasture in the desert, full fruit on the tree, full
