PRAYING THE ANGELUS | When & How Catholics Should Pray This Powerful (Yet Simple) Prayer

The Angelus is an absolutely beautiful, Biblical, and quick prayer perfect for meditating on Saint Gabriel the Archangel's Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary. I started praying the Angelus at summer camp back when I was Anglican, and continue to pray it every single day (when I remember!) 🟣For more videos on traditional Catholic prayers, married life, and homemaking, follow along over at the Graceful Catholic Blog: https://GraceElaineBrown.com Also, if you enjoyed this video, feel free to subscribe to this YouTube as well (I'll be uploading new videos every week!)🟣 Traditionally, the Angelus was prayed every day at 6 a.m. then noon then 6 p.m. Many parishes and Catholics have moved to pray it only at noon because of the indulgence associated with its recitation (originally endowed by Pope Sixtus IV in 1475). 00:00- Intro 00:21- The Angelus (pray without ceasing!) 01:24- Brief History of the Angelus 02:24- When Do You Pray the Angelus? 03:44- Why Should YOU Pray the Angelus? 05:09- How to Start Praying the Angelus? 06:11- Pray the Angelus With Me :) 08:55- ACTION ITEM: Pray the Angelus every day!
