Et In Hora Mortis Nostrae

Nine months to go until Christmas. Happy New Year, as this would once have been.

One really ought to get the Angelus in at the right times on this if on no other day of the year, and I have managed two out of three so far.

The first half of the Hail Mary is of course a combination of two verses from Saint Luke's Gospel. But the second half was added by popular practice during the Black Death.

So saying it a total of nine times is particularly apposite today.
