Saved by the Bell

We all need reminders to connect our day to God. The Angelus can be that daily reminder to call to mind God’s love for us! This famous Catholic devotion recounts the message from the angel Gabriel to Mary announcing God’s plan for her life. The theme throughout this prayer’s history and usage is the number three. There are three antiphons, and three Hail Marys, and the prayer has been traditionally said three times a day (morning-6 a.m., noon, evening-6 p.m.) Most Church historians agree that the Angelus can be traced back to 11th-century Italy, where monks said three Hail Marys during night prayers, at the last bell of the day. 

It is so easy to get caught up in our daily duties and obligations to the point where we forget about God altogether. We can almost always make excuses for why we are doing something particularly important at that moment. So pause, listen for those bells (or set your cell phone alarm), and learn how you can grow closer to God in our latest conversation.
