V. The Angel of the Lord announced unto Mary.

R. And she conceived of the Holy Ghost

Hail Mary.

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

R. Be it done unto me according to Thy Word.

Hail Mary.

V. And the Word was made flesh.

R. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary.

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

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

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.

The Angelus is said kneeling, except on Sundays, beginning with First Vespers, that is, Saturday evening; and in Paschal time (from Holy Saturday to Trinity Sunday), when it is said standing.
