Say this prayer to honor Mary

The Angelus is a special prayer recited by Catholics three times a day, at 6am, noon, and 6pm and is accompanied by the ringing of the Angelus bell. The name comes from the Latin word for Angel and the prayer itself reminds us of how Jesus Christ assumed our human nature through the Mystery of the Incarnation.

 THE ANGELUS 

In the name of the Father + and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

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 Your 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.

Let us pray:

Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord, Your Grace into our hearts;

that we, to whom 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
