What prayer containing 3 Hail Marys is prayed in honor of the Incarnation?

Answer 1

Quote:
"The Angelus is perhaps the most common prayer in honor of the Incarnation. The versicles and reponses come from St. Luke's story of the Annunciation and St. John's Prologue. The prayer is traditionally said at 6:00 a.m., noon, and 6:00 p.m. (or morning, midday, and evening), and some Catholic churches still ring the Angleus bells to remind people to stop what they are doing for this brief moment of prayer (there is also a famous painting called The Angelus). In groups, it is prayed by leader (V.) and group response (R.). One common English version follows:

V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary... (complete prayer here)

V. Behold, the handmaid of the Lord
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Haily Mary...

V. And the Word was made flesh
R. And dwelt among us [by custom one may genuflect or strike the breast here]
Hail Mary...

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy 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.
R. Amen.


The other special honor given to the Incarnation is in the middle of the Nicene Creed in the middle of the Mass. At the words "By the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man [et incarnatus est]," everyone makes a profound bow (a genuflection on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, and the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord, Mar. 25)."

danielpauldavis is wrong. He says,
"It sounds like the repetitive rosary. "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" (Matthew 6:7)."

However, Quote:
"Vain Repetition?

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said:

And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him (Matt. 6:7–8).

With Hail Mary after Hail Mary after Hail Mary, the rosary [or Angelus, this article is meant to explain the Rosary, but the same rul applies, i guess...] appears to some people to be the kind of repetitious prayer Jesus condemned—a superficial, mechanical way of praying to God that can be boring and empty of life. It is sometimes said to be "vain repetition" rather than true, intimate prayer flowing from the heart. Shouldn’t Christians, some ask, speak openly to Jesus rather than relying on a repetitious formula?

Jesus, though, was not condemning repetitive prayer. Rather, he was criticizing the Gentiles’ practice of reciting endless formulations and divine names in order to say the words that would force the gods to answer their petitions. Magical formulas were not the way to get God to answer prayers. Jesus challenged us to approach our heavenly Father not the way the pagans do their deities but rather in confident trust that "your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Indeed, he knows what we need better than we do and is providing for those needs even before we realize them ourselves (Matt. 6:25–34).

Moreover, in the very next verse, Jesus gives us a new prayer to recite: the Our Father. Jesus says, "Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name" (Matt. 6:9).

Holy, Holy, Holy

If it were wrong to use repetitive prayers, Jesus certainly would not have done it. Yet in the garden of Gethsemane, he spoke the same prayer three times: "Leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words" (Matt. 26:44). We cannot think of this repetition as anything but heartfelt.

Similarly, in the Old Testament, parts of Psalm 118 are structured around the repeated phrase "His steadfast love endures forever," and the book of Daniel presents the three men in the fiery furnace constantly repeating the phrase "Sing praise to him and highly exalt him forever" (Dan. 3:52–88). God looks favorably on their prayers and answers them in their time of need (Ps. 118:21; Dan. 3:94–95).

In the New Testament, the book of Revelation describes how the very worship of God in heaven includes words of holy praise that are repeated without end. The four living creatures, gathered around God’s throne, "never cease to sing, ‘Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!’"(Rev. 4:8). Although trying to manipulate God by vain repetition is always wrong, proper repetitious prayer is very biblical and pleasing to God.

We may still wonder why there is so much repetition in the rosary. John Paul II noted that it is similar to the "Jesus Prayer" that people have recited for centuries: Christians slowly repeat the words "Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us," often in rhythm with their breathing. Whispered over and over again, this prayer calms the mind so that we may be more disposed to meet God himself in prayer. It helps us follow the admonition of Psalm 46:10: "Be still, and know that I am God."

The succession of Hail Marys in the rosary achieves the same purpose. Anyone who prays the rosary knows that the peaceful cadence created by the repetition of the prayers slows down our minds and spirits and focuses our attention so that we can prayerfully reflect on different aspects of Christ’s life."
