A traditional prayer honoring the Incarnation, prayed at morning, noon, and evening.
A short dialogue on the Incarnation, three verses and three Hail Marys, prayed three times a day.
When: At six in the morning, at noon, and at six in the evening, wherever the bells ring. Replaced by the Regina Caeli during Eastertide.
Why: It cuts the working day into three and drags attention back to the single fact the day rests on: God took flesh. It is the oldest defense against a life that is all momentum and no meaning.
