The Angelus 

What is the Angelus? 

The prayer takes its name from its opening words in Latin, "Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae" ("The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary"). It is a short scriptural reflection recounting the story of the Annunciation—the moment when the Angel Gabriel asked Mary to be the mother of Jesus.

Why do we pray it? 

• A Moment to Pause: In the middle of a busy school day filled with learning, sports, and friends, it invites us to stop, take a deep breath, and reset.
• A Reminder of God’s Presence: It refocuses our attention on God, reminding us of the ultimate gift of Jesus coming into our world.
• Saying "Yes" Like Mary: It encourages us to follow Mary’s example of faith, kindness, and saying "yes" to God's plan in our daily lives.

In Term 3, all students will learn the Angelus, as we add this prayer to our daily school routines.
