Angelus

We rightly admire Muslim neighbors and co-workers who put everything on hold five times a day in answer to the "call to prayer." But Christians have a "call to prayer," too! It is the Angelus. Three times a day (at 6:00 a.m., noon and 6:00 p.m), we pause to reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: that "God so loved the world he sent his only Son" (Jn 3:16), who "worked with human hands, thought with a human mind and loved with a human heart." God knows what life on earth is like: he lived on this very planet of ours! And so "it is right to give him thanks and praise" for "having not spared his Son, but delivering him up for us."
This video was prepared to help you learn and pray the Angelus. Once you have made this practice part of your daily prayer life, you can use the video to invite others to renew their faith in this "pivot point" of the Christian creed, in which the mysteries of the Trinity and of our Redemption in Christ come together. If we are Christians, we need to "know him whom we have believed"! The Angelus can help.
The Angelus video was prepared by Sister Anne of the Daughters of St. Paul, an international Catholic religious community dedicated to evangelization through communications.

caraocruz99, the Angelus goes back at least 1,000 years (and in its roots, even earlier): it was a way ordinary people could join in the prayer of the monasteries at morning, noon and evening, the most important times for prayer: a way to sanctify the whole day! (So the Angelus has its origins in the Liturgy of the Hours.) But there is no comparing the value of one prayer against another: The Angelus is completely drawn from Scripture, and the Divine Mercy chaplet from the Liturgy.

Dear Sisters, I would like to know what is life like living in a non-catholic country? I have seen the lovely pictures of your sisters profession of faith and thought how hard making that life choice must be in a country where all temptations and easy life are at hand.

[singingsisters]

It's nice to know you recognize that our country is not Catholic! All the more reason to give great importance to the "little" prayer forms that can permeate the day with the truths of the faith...

Does someone have an idea of what song this is? If so, please tell me, thanks.

[singingsisters]

It is the Ave Maria by da Victoria.

Didn't Jesus ask us to pray to Almighty God, not to hail the Virgin?

Initially, the midday prayer (not required by Jesus) was for crusaders who had left for the Holy Land. It's all a little out of date, no?

[singingsisters]

Jewish tradition influenced the prayer customs of the church, especially prayers like the Liturgy of the Hours ("seven times a day I praise you..." Ps 119) and the Angelus (cf. Daniel, who prayed morning, noon and evening).

@videotrini *Oración

Te suplicamos, Señor,

que derrames tu gracia en nuestras almas

para que los que, por el anuncio del Ángel

hemos conocido la Encarnación de tu Hijo Jesucristo, por su Pasión y Cruz

seamos llevados a la gloria de su Resurrección.

Por el mismo Jesucristo Nuestro Señor.

R. Amén.

(El Angelus nos recuerda la Anunciación)

@singingsisters Where are you from? I'm from Mexico and the priest at church said my country was catholic ^^

Of course there are other religions but ours is like the most believed in Mexico and I'm so glad =)

I even help out the priest at church handing the jars and putting away the Bible and everything else during church and I'm 17.

[MechanicalWood]

Yes!, the Angelus.

My mom told me a week ago we must pray it at 6:00 and 12:00 she also told me that Virgin Mary would make you know when it is time to pray it=)

I'm very proud of being a catholic sooo much

[LoverofSolomon]

@1401JSC My understanding is that Catholics ask Mary to pray for them before the throne of God (as you would ask a minister to pray for you) but by no means do they WORSHIP her.
