Angelus Fun Fact!
The Angelus is broken up in to three important parts, detailing the story of the annunciation: Announcement, Fiat, and Incarnation.
Announcement - God’s Word Announced The angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was to conceive and bear a son, Jesus.
The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Fiat - God’s Word Accepted
Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Incarnation - God’s Word Made Flesh
And the Word was made Flesh.
R. And dwelt among us.
