Dear Mr. Ciani:
Allow me to take this opportunity to express my thanks

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.
