Michaelmas TERM 2009 ANGELUS
V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary; R. And she conceived by 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. AMEN.
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord; R. Be it done to me according to your word.
HAIL MARY…
V. 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.
Pour forth your grace into our hearts, we beseech you, O Lord, so that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by the message of an angel, may be brought by his passion and cross to the glory of his resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. downside SCHOOL
