For many centuries Catholics have been praying the Angelus prayer, a devotion the recalls the Incarnation of Jesus at fixed points during the day.

The Angelus is most often prayed at 6:00 a.m., noon, and 6:00 p.m.

For many centuries, religious men and women have adopted a custom of praying multiple times a day, based on a Jewish practice found in the Old Testament.

The author of the Psalms proclaims,“Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he will hear my voice.” (Psalm 55:17)

Here are the words of the Angelus, said during most of the year outside of the Easter season, when it is replaced by the Regina Coeli.
