1. The Angelus is a prayer, which sanctifies
our day at sunrise, noon and sunset.
The prayer is Christocentric,
underscoring the mystery of the
Incarnation of the Divine Word.
It also possesses a thoroughly Marian
character in its commemoration of the
Angel Gabriel’s announcement to the
Virgin Mary.

3. The Angel
of the
Lord
declared
unto
Mary

4. And she
conceived
by the
Holy Spirit.

5. Behold the
handmaid
of the
Lord,

6. Be it done
unto me
according
to Your
Word

7. And the
Word
was made
Flesh:
And dwelt
among us

8. Hail Mary,
full of
grace,
the Lord
is with
You!

9. Blessed are
you among
women and
blessed is
the fruit of
your womb,
Jesus.

10. Holy Mary,
Mother of
God,
Pray for
us sinners

11. Now and at the
hour
of our death.
Amen.

12. Pray for us,
O Holy Mother of God,
That we may be made
worthy of the
promises of Christ.

13. Let us pray
Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord,
Your 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.
