With Mary and St. Joseph
The Incarnation remembered in the morning, at noon and in the evening. The booklet gives three forms: the Angelus in Ordinary Time, a Lenten salutation, and the Regina Caeli in the Easter season.

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.
