The Angelus

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.
Ave Maria ...
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
Ave Maria ...
V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt amongst us.
Ave Maria ...
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 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.

This prayer is said from Saturday evening before Trinity Sunday until Holy Saturday evening inclusive, this prayer is recited three times a day, namely, in the morning (6am), at noon and in the evening (6pm). We recite the Angelus kneeling, except for Saturday evenings and Sundays.
