Hail Mary of Gold is a Roman Catholic Marian prayer attributed to Saint Gertrude the Great.
According to the Pieta prayer booklet, the prayer comes from Revelations of Saint Gertrude, book III, chapter XVIII. According to Saint Gertrude, the Virgin Mary stated that: "At the hour when the soul which has thus greeted me quits the body, I will appear to them in such splendid beauty that they will taste, to their great consolation, something of the joys of Paradise".[1][2]
