The Angelus

Posted by St. Mary's Cathedral on Monday, June 24, 2013 with No comments


The Angelus is traditionally recited morning [6 a.m.], noon and evening [6 p.m.] throughout the year except during Paschal time, when the Regina Coeli [see below] is recited instead.

THE ANGELUS
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. 
R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit. [Recite the Hail Mary]
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to Thy word. [Recite the Hail Mary]
V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt among us. [Recite the Hail Mary]
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

[THE HAIL MARY]
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

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.

PROMISE:
"Whoever shall devoutly recall to me the joy I felt upon uttering the words, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord," I will most truly show him that I am his Mother, and unfailingly, I will succor him." - The Blessed Mother to St. Gertrude the Great

THE REGINA COELI
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, Alleluia:
For He whom thou merited to bear, Alleluia,
Has risen, as He said, Alleluia. Pray for us to God, Alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, Alleluia.
R. Because the Lord is truly risen, Alleluia.

LET US PRAY:
O God, Who by the Resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ, granted joy to the whole world: grant, we beg Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may lay hold of the joys of eternal life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Regina Coeli carries a Partial Indulgence like the Memorare.
