In times when daily routines served people and not the other way around, every church would ring its bells three times each day to announce the Andelus prayer. People would stop whatever they did, and recite a prayer in memory of God becoming a human in Jesus Christ. After this moment of reflection, focus and calm they would begin, continue or conclud their day's work. This book presents the actual prayer which begins with the words: The Angel of the Lord, then reflects on the spiritual, biblical and historical basis for this most beloved custom of traditional Catholic life.
