Catholic prayers through the day
The Angelus
At noon, many Catholics stop to pray the Angelus, remembering the angel's message to Mary and the Word made flesh. It is traditionally prayed at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. In Eastertide the Regina Caeli is prayed instead.
In the Catholic Church the official prayer of the hours is the Liturgy of the Hours: Lauds in the morning, Daytime Prayer at midday, Vespers in the evening, and Night Prayer (Compline) before sleep. MyOratory's Catholic hours gather the traditional prayers that many Catholics say at these times.
