The  Angelus
The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, etc.

Behold the handmaid of  the Lord,
Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
Hail Mary, etc.

And The Word was made flesh,
And dwelt amongst us.
Hail Mary, etc.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
R. That we be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

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. Amen.
