Angelus
This is the very ancient Catholic custom that has us stop what we are doing to greet our Blessed Mother for a moment (6:00 a.m., noon, 6:00 p.m. daily) and to meditate on the Incarnation and Resurrection of our Lord, which give such meaning to our entire existence. The Regina Coeli is said during the Easter season. The Angelus is said during the rest of the year.
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary …
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord,
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary …
V. And the Word was made Flesh,
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary …
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
V. Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that, we to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy 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.
All. Amen.
