 Note.— In Catholic countries, and in convents, the bell rings morning, noon, and evening, when the Angelus is said; but this condition is not required where such a custom does not exist.

V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.

R. And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.

Hail Mary, &c.; [once.]

V. Behold the Handmaid of the Lord.

R. May it be done unto me according to thy word.

Hail Mary, &c.; [once.]

V. And the Word was made flesh.

R. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary, &c.; [once.]

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

OUR 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.

During paschal time say:

Rejoice, O Queen of Heaven, to see. Alleluia.

The sacred Infant, born of thee. Alleluia.

Rise, according to his word. Alleluia.

Pray for us unto the Lord. Alleluia.

V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary. Alleluia.

R. Because our Lord is truly risen. Alleluia.
