Luke 1:28
Douay-Rheims
And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Gregory of Nyssa
(Diem Nat. Orat. in Christi.) Far different then to the news formerly addressed to the woman, is the announcement now made to the Virgin. In the former, the cause of sin was punished by the pains of childbirth; in the latter, through gladness, sorrow is driven away. Hence the angel not unaptly proclaims joy to the Virgin, saying, Hail.
