Angelus Prayer

Berkeley, Monday, December 8, 2025 7:10 PM

Every Sunday the Pope prays from a Vatican’s balcony towards Saint’s Pietro Square he angelus / regina caelli prayers. I believe it is important to try to listen the Pope, or a speaker in general, in their native language. I talk a bit more about this towards the end. Here some sources to follow the Pope’s speeches and prayer along in Italian and Latin.

After the Pope’s words, there is the Angelus prayer. Here it is an extract, probably, a first draft but I can look further:

V. Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae.
R. Et concepit de Spiritu Sancto.
[V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary…
R. And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.]
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus
tecum: benedicta tu in mulieribus et
benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis
peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis
nostrae. Amen.
[(Hail Mary, etc.)]
V. Ecce ancilla Domini.
R. Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.
Ave Maria, etc.
[V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord…
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.]
(Hail Mary, etc.)
V. Et Verbum caro factum est.
R. Et habitavit in nobis.
Ave Maria, etc.
[V. And the Word was made flesh…
R. And dwelt amongst us.]
(Hail Mary, etc.)
V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genetrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamus promissionibus
Christi.
[V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.]
Oremus:
Gratiam tuam, quaesumus, Domine,
mentibus nostris infunde: ut qui, Angelo
nuntiante, Christi Filii tui
incarnationem cognovimus, per
passionem ejus et crucem, ad
resurrectionis gloriam perducamur. Per
eundem Christum Dominum nostrum.
[Let us pray:
Pour forth, O Lord, we beseech Thee, 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.]

Find a source for the gloria, other prayers, which are still missing between the latter one and the Pope’s Bendecdition.

Further, a good channel, usually in the original voice and language from the Pope. Or in other words, the Angelus without translation.

Communication is both ways. The talent speaker would adapt to the audience, likely by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, his heart and intellect. But also the listener must learn, particularly, if it is call to make an effort, must learn the speaker or interlocutor language:
