THE ANGELUS

 

V/.       The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary.

R/.        And she conceived by 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/.       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 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.
