Now that our Plan of Life is taking shape, allow me to continue to build this plan with you. So far, we have begun the day in prayer by turning our first thought over to God. As the day goes on, it is important for us to “check-in” with our Lord. The noon hour is the perfect opportunity for us to do so. Traditionally, the Church calls us to pray the Angelus at noon (and at 6:00 pm). Add that into your Plan of Life by pausing at noon and praying . . .
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary;
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
V. Hail Mary full of Grace . . .
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord:
R. Be it done unto me according to Thy word:
V. Hail Mary full of Grace . . .
V. And the Word was made Flesh.
R. And dwelt among us.
V. Hail Mary full of Grace . . .
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
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.
Faithfully Yours in Christ,
