The Angelus
The Angelus has anchored the faith of countless believers, uniting them in contemplation of the moment when Heaven touched Earth, and God became one of us. As we recite these hallowed words, we’re reminded of Mary’s unwavering trust and the Divine miracle of Jesus’ conception. Let this prayer serve as your spiritual anchor, fortifying your connection to God and the eternal bond between Heaven and Earth.
