angelus

For centuries the Church has recited the Angelus several times each day, especially at noon, in honor of the Incarnation and the Blessed Mother of God.

℣. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary;

℟. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary . . .

℣. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

℟. Be it done unto me according to your word.

Hail Mary . . .

℣. And the Word was made flesh.

℟. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary . . .

℣. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

℟. 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 we to whom the incarnation of Christ, your 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.

℣. Angelus Dómini, nuntiávit Maríæ.

℟. Et concépit de Spíritu Sancto.

Ave María . . .

℣. Ecce ancílla Dómini.

℟. Fiat mihi secúndum verbum tuum.

Ave María . . .

℣. Et Verbum caro factum est.

℟. Et habitávit in nobis.

Ave María . . .

℣. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Génetrix.

℟. Ut digni efficiámur promissiónibus Christi.

Orémus.

Grátiam tuam, quaésumus, Dómine, méntibus nostris infúnde; ut qui, ángelo nuntiánte, Christi Fílii tui incarnatiónem cognóvimus, per passiónem eius et crucem, ad resurrectiónis glóriam perducámur. Per eúndem Christum Dóminum nostrum.

℟. Amen.
