Devotions
"Devotions are manifestations of our profound love of God, rooted in worship and service to his Holy Name. As Catholics, it is our readiness to give honor and glory to God, whether in public or private prayer, or by performing some act of God’s will, that exercises our own spirituality. Through prayer, our devotions reaffirm our total commitment to our Lord, Jesus Christ. And in return, we hope to obtain favors that only He can provide through his infinite mercy and blessings. Our comprehensive selection of Catholic devotions -- prayers, novenas, litanies and meditations – is designed to help Catholics grow in their faith and love of God. We invite you to try different ones and make them part of your daily devotion along your spiritual journey.." https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/devotions
"The Angelus commemorates the Annunciation and Incarnation, and is traditionally prayed three times daily; 6am, noon, and 6pm. The prayer evolved from a lay custom of praying three Hail Marys in the evening when the monastery bells rang."
We Pray the Angelus at Noon
V/. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
R/. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
V/. Behold the handmaid of the Lord,
R/. Be it done unto me according to your Word.
Hail Mary…
V/. And the Word was made flesh,
R/. And dwelt among us.
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 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."
"'Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you' (Lk 1: 28)
'Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb'
(Lk 1: 42)."
