THE ANGELUS DOMINI.

In Catholic countries, and in some parts again of England (after being discontinued for three hundred years) the church-bell is solemnly rung three times every day, morning, noon, and night, and each time, in memory of our Saviour's becoming Man for our salvation, is said,—

1.THE angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and she conceived of the Holy Ghost. Hail Mary, &c. 2 Behold the handmaid of the Lord, may it be done unto me according to thy word. Hail Mary, &o. 3. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. Hail Mary, &c.

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.

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

AIL, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

The Apostles' Creed.

BELIEVE in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the Holy Catholic Church; the communion of Saints; the forgiveness of sins: the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
