Taking time for prayer

Remember the good old days when prayer was a important part of each and every day?  Remember prayer at meals, when facing adversity, and at specific times of the day such as rising in the morning to a new day, or preparing for bed time in the evening?  My memories of daily prayer revolved around a picture that hung on our dining room wall just above our buffet. The picture was an unremarkable scene of two people, a man and a woman, standing in a field, heads bowed and a church steeple in the distance.  The picture was entitled “The Angelus”.  I asked my mother what the picture meant and she explained that the man and women were reciting the Angelus at noontime as they heard the noon bell ring in the distance.  I was always amazed that the sound of a church bell could trigger people to literally stop what they were doing to offer thanks to
God.

In these beautiful months of summer, don’t forget to give thanks to God for the many gifts in your life.  I am including the Angelus prayer for your review and perhaps a new devotion of an old and venerable tradition.
 

The Angelus Prayer

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 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. 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 Thee, O 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.
