ANGELUS, 12h00

2. The Angel brought good news to Mary:
The Holy Spirit will come upon you.
Behold the servant of the Lord:
Let it be according to your word.
The Word became flesh:
And lived among us. 2

3. Blessed is she who believed:
Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.
I know that my Redeemer lives:
And that at the last Christ will stand upon the earth. 3

4. We beseech you, Lord, to pour your grace into our hearts,
We beseech you, Lord, to pour your grace into our hearts,
that as we have known the incarnation of your Son Jesus Christ by the message of an angel,
so by his cross and passion we may be brought to the glory of his resurrection;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen. 4

5. God of mountain peak and rolling veld,
whose voice is the lion’s roar and whose reach is the heron’s swoop:
look with favour on our ancient land and pour out your blessing on Africa,
that her history may inspire our children,
her bountiful resources feed the nations,
and her drumbeat draw all people into the dance of reconciliation;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.   5
