The Beauty of The Angelus



The beautiful prayer The Angelus illustrates a critical point. The closing of the prayer especially does:

Pour forth, we beseech Thee,
O, Lord, Thy grace into our
hearts, that we to whom the
Incarnation of Christ, Your son, was made known by the message of an angel,
may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Ressurection, through the same Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Theologically, one of the critical points highlighted in this prayer include the phrases "His Passion, "His Cross, and His Resurrection." Wonder, peace in confidence lies in knowing that Jesus has already defeated death for us. All we have to do is open to God's love. May each human heart, Lord, open itself daily to rest and grow in Your Spirit. Amen.
