The Angelus is traditionally said at dawn or after rising, at noon, and at sunset or upon retiring. During the five weeks of Eastertide, it is replaced by the Regina Cśli. The Devotion is said standing on Saturday evenings and on Sundays in the morning and at noon. When it is said kneeling, bow profoundly in place of the genuflexion.

THE ANGELUS

V. Angelus Domini nuntiavit Marić.
R. Et concepit de Spiritu Sancto.
Ave Maria, &c.

V. Ecce ancilla Domini.
R. Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.
Ave Maria, &c.

V. Et verbum caro factum est.
[Hic genuflectitur]
R. Et habitavit in nobis.
Ave Maria, &c.

V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.

Oremus.

Gratiam tuam, qućsumus, Domine, menitbus nostris infunde:

ut qui, Angelo nuntiante, Christi Filii tui incarnationem cognovimus,

per passionem ejus et crucem, ad resurrectionis gloriam perducamur.

Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

[Genuflect here]

LET US PRAY

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, 0 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.
