## What is Praying the Angelus?

Welcome to the Magnificat Angelus App!

In some places, the church bells still ring daily in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. The Angelus is a very ancient prayer commemorating the Angel’s message (Angelus) to Mary, announcing to her that she will give birth to Jesus. 

This prayer is first and foremost a commemoration of the mystery of the Incarnation: God made man to save us all. By reciting it with a faithful heart, it allows you to unite your everyday life, its joys and sorrows, to God who became one of us. Taking precedence over any daily activity at a specific time, it reminds us “One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God” (Mt 4:4), and even more so from the Incarnate Word, our Lord Jesus Christ!

In order to help you establish the habit of praying the Angelus daily, you will be given the opportunity to set up reminders at the hours most convenient for your schedule (by default at 8am, 12pm, and 8pm). 

You will also be able to watch weekly videos of the Angelus recited by the Pope along with the faithful gathered in Saint Peter’s Square at the Vatican.

Your Angelus app is available in Latin and in every language of the MAGNIFICAT editions: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese and Slovenian. 

Note: The Regina Coeli is said during the Easter season (from Easter Sunday to the day prior to Pentecost). The Angelus is said during the rest of the year.

### 5/5 — laudare, benedicere, praedicare

*2025-03-17, version 1.6.2*

Thank you for this simple, elegant app, a gateway to and a pillar of the Faith!!

### 4/5 — Watch app please

*2025-02-26, version 1.6.2*

Handy app. Would be awesome if it worked on the watch

### 4/5 — A handy assistant for devotional time

*2024-05-29*

Nice simple app that helps keep the daily rhythm of prayer. 
The automatic change between Angelus and Regina Caeli doesn’t coincide with the liturgical calendar though.

### 5/5 — Latest Version Does Not Switch Back to Angelus after Pentecost

*2024-05-28, version 1.6.1*

There is no longer an option to select between the Angelus and Regina Caeli

### 5/5 — Wrong season

*2024-05-22*

Love this app. The only thing I don’t like is when it’s time for Regina coeli the angelus still shows. It’s happening right now and Easter season is officially over.

### 5/5 — It’s no longer Easter season!!!!

*2024-05-21, version 1.6.1*

I love this app, but frustrated that it’s no longer Easter season and they haven’t switched back to the Angelus. Please fix this asap!!!!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-04-09, version 1.5.0*

I use it everyday. It sends notifications and also encourages us to pray Regina Caelis during Easter time. 
Highly recommend it!!! I have been using it for more than a year.

### 1/5 — Wo ist das Regina coeli ?

*2024-04-04, version 1.4.0*

Wo ist das Regina coeli ? Es ist doch OSTERZEIT ?

### 4/5 — Regina Caeli

*2024-03-31, version 1.4.0*

Today is Easter Sunday (March 31st) and the Angelus hasn’t switched to the Regina Caeli. It always switches on Easter Sunday till Pentecost Sunday.

### 5/5 — Love The Chimes

*2023-09-08, version 1.4.0*

Wonderful to be alerted to the daily noon Angelus. I stop, and stare at the picture of a farmer and wife pausing in their field to pray at noon. A wonderful Catholic tradition. The noon chimes work to slow me down enough to reflect on my heredity- as a Catholic child, Catholic woman, Catholic wife, and Catholic grandmother. All of which have been a Blessing from God.
