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. R. Amen. |

Indulgences
i. Plenary, once a month, to all who, every day, at the sound of the bell, morning, noon, or evening, shall say on their knees the Angelus (Special Conditions: Confession, Communion, Prayer according to the Pope’s intention).
ii. 100 Days, every time that they say the Angelus.
N.B. These Indulgences are not suspended in the Holy Year of the Jubilee. The Angelus is to be said standing, every Sunday in the year, beginning from first Vespers, that is, Saturday evening; in Paschal-tide (i.e., from Holy Saturday at midday to midday on Saturday before Trinity Sunday inclusive), the Regina cœli, etc., is said instead, standing, with its proper V., R., and prayer; those, however, who do not know the Regina cœli may obtain the same Indulgences by saying the Angelus as above. Religious of both sexes, or others who live in community, if they cannot say the Angelus nor Regina cœli. the sound of the bell as aforesaid, by reason of their being engaged upon some work prescribed by their rule or constitution, may obtain the above-named Indulgences, provided that immediately on the conclusion of their respective duties they say the Angelus or Regina cœli. Moreover, the faithful who happen to be dwelling where there is no such bell, may obtain the above-named Indulgences if, at the hours specified or thereabouts, they say the Angelus or Regina cœli, according to the season.
These Indulgences may be gained by saying five Hail Marys, three times, by those who do not know and cannot read the proper prayers.
On Saturdays in Lent, at noon, the Angelus is to be said standing.
