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.
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
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.
