The Angelus Prayer

Verse The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
Response And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

(say one Hail Mary Prayer)

Verse Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Response Be it done unto me according to Your Word.

(say one Hail Mary Prayer)

Verse And the Word was made flesh,
Response And dwelt among us.

(say one Hail Mary Prayer)

Verse Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
Response 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 as we have known the incarnation of Christ,
your Son by the message of an angel,
so by His passion and cross
we may be brought to the glory of His Resurrection.
Through the same Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

(The Angelus is said by Catholics all over the world, everyday at twelve o’clock noon.)
