The word “angelus” is Latin for angel. The Angelus consists of three Hail Marys with short Bible verses in between, called versicles, ending with a prayer. Why three times a day? It’s a way for Catholics to make reverent the morning, noon, and evening. Harpa Dei is a lay singing group of three sisters and a brother, and the man ringing the bells is a server at Mass.

What a coincidence that you wrote about this today. Recently, I watched a talk by Fr. Ripperger about prayer life. He recommended praying the Angelus. I had not thought about this devotion for many years. Since I usually awake at 8:00 am, the 6am prayer has been an infinitesimally tiny penance. However, I wait to say the rest of my morning prayers until I am awake again and fully conscious, about an hour or two later, lol

Great, Laura. The altarpiece in this chapel is beautiful. In the blog somewhere is the Mass being said in the chapel. Bob
