What is the Angelus
The Angelus, a prayer with roots back to the 13th century, is a Marian devotion that is traditionally recited three times a day, usually at 9, noon, and 6. Each recitation includes three Hail Marys with antiphons and responses in between each. The genius of this devotion, especially in a place of catechesis like a Catholic school, is that it focuses on the Incarnation (an essential mystery of our faith) and that its practice mirrors its content.
The Angelus Pray
The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
And She conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with you !
Blessed are you among women,
And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen
Behold the handmaid of the Lord,
Be it 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 worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let Us Pray. Pour Forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts: that we,
To who 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 our Lord. Amen
The hymn at 4:30 PM each day is a reminder like the Angelus to stop a minute and review the
