Angelus

The angelus is usually said at 6:00 and 12:00 every day. This is why you hear the church bells ring at 12:00 and 6:00.

The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit
Hail Mary
Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done unto me according to your word.
Hail Mary
And the Word was made flesh.
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worth of the promises of Christ.
Say one of the following two prayers
  1. Let us pray - O Lord, it was through the message of an angel that we learned of the incarnation of your Son Christ. Pour your grace into our hearts, and by his passion and cross bring us to the glory of his ressurrection. Through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen
  2. Pour forth, O Lord, your grace into our hearts, that we to whome the incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought to the glory of his resurrection; through the same Christ or Lord, Amen.

Glory Be
