Ave Maria...
V. Ora pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genetrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
Oremus: Gratiam tuam quæsumus, Domine,
mentibus nostris infunde;
ut qui, angelo nuntiante,
Christi Filii tui Incarnationem cognovimus,
per passionem eius et crucem,
ad resurrectionis gloriam perducamur.
Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

My prayer for the last 4 years along with daily rosary , prayer to Joseph and divine mercy chaplet at 3 pm and daily mass keeps me focused on Our blessed mother and Our Lord . Our Traditions are a beautiful thing and always focused on Christ and the Trinity . Thank you Father

[@lisalupe9851]

Thank you, and may the Lord bless you.

That was nice, Father. Thank you. I tried to memorize this when I was a kid but had trouble; but apparently I did learn it because it came right back to me as soon as I started saying it again. Now I set my alarm to it. 🙏🙏🙏

[@clarasantiso8246]

lovely and meaningful prayer. praise and thanksgiving to God for our Blessed Mother.

Praying the Angelus gives me clarity of mind and brings me closer to our dear Blessed Virgin Mary 🙏 ❤😊

[@marcosgonzalez4525]

Thank you for reminding us of our tradition . If we lose them we lose it all. God bless you 🙏 ❤

I am coming to LOVE this prayer increasingly and thankful for that. Many lukewarm Catholics have no excuse today if weak in faith...we see the evil all around us propagated by our "woke" governments...time to STRENGTHEN AND PRACTICE OUR ONE TRUE FAITH, made so by God himself who instituted Christianity himself when he dwelt amongst us...and we, God's creation may thank God unceasingly for this and opening up heaven to us by his cross, death and resurrection. Pray for PURPOSE in life...which is to know, love and serve the Lord. Many laity used to serve God by raising good families for example with proper morality and values and faith instilled in our children. Today home schooling seems to be talked about more and more as society (schools) are usurping the authority and values of Christian parents.

[@kellyupshaw6598]

I say it when I can. Usually closer to 1:00 when I take my lunch at work.

[@jeanie6279]

Can you mail out this little card you mention, printed with the Angelus and Regina Ceili and meal prayers?

[@nope24601]

Thank you! It was also nice to hear a Catholic use the “Holy Ghost” form. It’s far more aesthetically correct.

[@augustinep6193]

Father, as a lay person, if you also pray the Office in the morning, at noon, and in the evening, would you pray the Angelus before or after the Office?
