In various forms, the Angelus has been prayed for about a millennium in the Catholic Church, traditionally at six in the morning, noon, and six in the evening. It’s also prayed by some high-church Anglican and Lutheran congregations. Baptized Catholics can sing along for a partial indulgence!

and She conceived of the Holy Spirit.Hail Mary full of grace,
The Lord is with thee,
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Pray for sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your 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 Resurrection.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen!
