The Most Important COMMA In The Hail Mary Prayer

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

I do not want to sound
too Catholic
so I am only going
to quote
two lines 
from the prayer:
 
***
Blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus
***
 
Ignoring that comma 
makes the second line become
of thy womb Jesus
and the word "womb" 
becomes an adjective
as in
thy tall Jesus
or
thy handsome Jesus
 
BUT
that comma is essential
as a moment of breath
and "thy womb"
is another name for
Jesus
 
 
 
***
