Do you pray the Angelus? Originating in the thirteenth century, this prayer honours the moment Angel Gabriel announced Jesus’ conception to the Virgin Mary. This prayer helps Catholics maintain spiritual focus, connecting them deeply with the mystery of God becoming human through Mary’s humble “fiat”. Join the Sisters of Mary Morning Star today in praying this timeless devotion in Latin which connects us to generations of faithful who have paused at dawn, noon, and dusk to turn their hearts to God and commemorated the Annunciation. May you be drawn closer to Jesus through Our Lady’s intercession. 😇 🙏🌙
