This is why the frequent repetition of Hail Mary is advisable at all times: ...Pray it for yourself and for others.

Frankly, I never understood why anyone would want to pray to anyone other than our Lord Jesus and the Father when our Lord asked us to pray directly to Him and the Father. Do you have a "busy" signal?

I want to pray to God in the company of Mary and the saints, and not alone. We are a communal religion. The reason I specifically recommended Hail Mary and not some other prayer is because Hail Mary specifically asks for good death, an important factor when the topic is salvation of the unconverted.
