THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

Thought for the Day # 9 – Tuesday March 29, 2020

“Discover the Angelus”

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This day before the Feast of the Annunciation of Mary is an opportunity to dis-
cover the Angelus. This beautiful prayer, when the Angel appears and
announces to Mary that she will be the mother of the Saviour is so beautiful
that I have personally made use of it every day at noon. Around noontime, I
pray the Angelus. There’s also the rosary that I pray every day—but also the
Angelus at noon , to really be sure that my whole day is entrusted to the
protection of Mary, and certainly in these circumstances, we want to put our
day under the protection to Mary.

So I will pray the Angelus with you, it’s very easy to find it on the internet, The
Angelus Prayer in English.

℣ The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,

℟ And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

The Lord is with thee,

Blessed art thou among women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus,
Holy Mary, Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners,

Now and at the hour of our death.

℣ Behold the handmaid of the Lord,

℟ Be it done unto me according to Your Word.

Hail Mary…
