[8mmMauser]

We try to remember Angelus when we can especially in this Christmas season at these times, 6:00am, 12:00pm and 6:00pm. Angelus was recited regularly in Europe and church bells still ring them out in a few remaining towns.

Deo gratias

.....................

V		Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae;
R		Et concepit de Spiritu Sancto.
All		Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
V		Ecce ancilla Domini.
R		Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.
All		Ave Maria, etc.
V		Et Verbum caro factum est.
R		Et habitavit in nobis.
All		Ave Maria, etc.
V		Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genetrix.
R		Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
V		Oremus.Gratiam tuam, quaesumus, Domine, mentibus nostris infunde; ut qui, Angelo nuntiante, Christi Filii tui incarnationem cognovimus, per passionem eius et crucem, ad resurrectionis gloriam perducamur. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum.
All		Amen.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Light

Light
like a candle in the darkness,
like hope in despair,
like touch to the lonely,
like water to a thirst,
like a starry night
filled with angels singing.

Light,
like the mysterious light
filling a tomb
to shatter finally
the hold of the darkness.

The gift of light,
first among all the gifts,
a love song of God,
a love story,
a baby's cry in the night
announcing Emmanuel,
God with us.

Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.
