Earth Day
Earth Day is celebrated on April
22nd.
On April 22, more than one billion people
around the globe will take part in Earth Day™. People of all nationalities and
backgrounds voice their appreciation for the planet and
demand its protection.
"LONG BEFORE the environmental movement
began and global warming became a hot topic, God told us in
the first chapter of the Book of Genesis that caring for
creation is our moral responsibility. But evidence is mounting
that we haven’t been doing a very good job, and the results
are catching up with us.
Thus, people of faith, including
Catholics, are going green because of their religious
convictions. Some of them are finding out that saving the
earth saves them money, too. This article will present a
sampling of such efforts." From AmericanCatholic.org.
The
Angelus is said throughout
the year except during Eastertide,
from Easter Sunday through Pentecost, when the Regina Caeli is recited in its
place. According to custom, these prayers are recited at
dawn, noon, and in the evening.
Throughout the Easter Season - Until
Pentecost (the seventh Sunday after Easter) - the
Regina Caeli (Queen of
Heaven) is said in place of the Angelus prayer at
8:25 am, 12 noon and 6:00 pm.
The Angelus
In the Angelus,
the first part of the Hail Mary is said by the leader, while
the others respond with the second part. V. The angel of the Lord declared
unto Mary.
R. And she
conceived by the Holy Spirit.
V.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord
is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb, Jesus. R. 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 unto 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.
Queen of Heaven
V.
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. R. For He whom you did merit to
bear, alleluia.
V. Has risen, as he said, alleluia.
R. Pray for us to God, alleluia
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin
Mary, alleluia. R. For the Lord has truly risen,
alleluia.
Let us
pray:
O God,
who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the
intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the
joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
