Angelus

[Credo]

Hello, everyone! I'm new to the forum and like what I see so far.

As my first post, I would like to propose a devotion that has all but died out in many areas. I know that Father Benedict Groeschel and the rest of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal are pushing to bring this devotion into common practice again, so I'm going to try to do my part to help them.

Since it's noon where I am, I just finished praying the Angelus and would invite anyone else to join me today and every day...for those who don't know how to pray the Angelus I've provided it below.

Ad Majorum Dei Glorium,
Brent



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 Thy Word

Hail Mary...

The Word was made flesh
And dwelt amongst us

Hail Mary...

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
That we may be 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 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

An excellent idea Credo. I have my Palm Pilot notify me at 11:55am every day so I can say it at noon.

My whole family prays the Angelus every day! It's a great practice.

We recite the Angelus before noon Mass at the Cathedral here. It's great! I wish my parish would do on Sunday!

I rarely remember to say the Angelus at noon, but every now and then I will remember. I always get happy when I can here Church bells ringing to announce the noon hour to call us to prayer (they've reminded me on more than one occasion).
