The Angelus

"The Angelus reminds us of the annunciation of Christ’s birth by the angel Gabriel to Mary, it transforms our hearts to be like the servant heart of Mary, and it reminds us that the Word was made flesh and God dwelt among us."

The Angelus, a prayer with roots back to the 13th century, is a Marian devotion that is traditionally recited three times a day, usually at 9, noon, and 6.
