2. Angelus.
Get into the habit of praying the beautiful Marian prayer, the Angelus. The past three Popes—St. Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and the present reigning Pontiff, Pope Francis, when they were not travelling, have the beautiful custom of praying the Angelus publically in the St. Peter’s Plaza at 12:00 noon on Sundays. The Angelus is a beautiful Marian and Christocentric prayer that summarizes the key moments in salvation history—the Incarnation of Jesus, as well as His Passion, Death and Resurrection (The Paschal Mystery) as well as Our Lady’s key role in these key and pivotal moments leading to our salvation!
