This video was prepared to help you learn and pray the Angelus. Once you have made this practice part of your daily prayer life, you can use the video to invite others to renew their faith in central truth of the Christian faith, in which the mysteries of the Trinity and of our Redemption in Christ come together: the Incarnation of the Son of God. If we are Christians, we need to "know him whom we have believed"! The Angelus can help.

About the Angelus Project
We rightly admire Muslim neighbors and co-workers who put everything on hold five times a day in answer to the "call to prayer." But Christians have a call to prayer, too! It is the Angelus. Morning, noon and evening we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1:14), because "God so loved the world that he sent his only Son" (Jn. 3:16).

While there are growing movements to remove The Angelus from Irish RTE television, I remember fondly the 6pm bells sounding from the television. Even for those of lapsed faith, it had them pausing to reflect, take stock and thank God for blessings of the day. Even during last summer's visit, it was a cherished occurrence.
This is splendid. I posted a link on my blog and I shall also promote this idea to everyone I meet (who seems likely).
I have a setting of the Angelus to very simple chant that I stumbled across somewhere. I think I may also try "Englishing" it for more festal occasions with a Latin-challenged group.
Again, I applaud your effort.
Thank you, Mary Jane, for helping to promote the Angelus project video and for fostering this prayer of faith in the style that best matches your own gifts.
