    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).

    Is it the Angelus?
    The Angelus
    The name of this prayer derives from the first Latin word ('angel'). The Angelus was not officially approved in its current form until 1724 by Pope Benedict XIV, who prescribed the prayers be said at dawn (6am), noon (12pm) and dusk (6pm) throughout the year except during the Easter season when the Regina Coeli was to be recited. Originally, three Hail Marys were said, with the words of the Incarnation coming into popular usage as time passed. An Angelus bell (three slow peals) would ring calling the faithful to prayer at the appropriate times, which has varied historical origins:

    Evening
    Francicans of Assisi ring a 'Hail Mary Bell' in 1269 to call to mind the Incarnation
    Pope John XXII approves the now widespread custom of the bell and three Hail Marys in 1318

    Morning
    The three Hail Marys and ringing of the bell is done at dawn as well as in the evening in Parma, Italy, 1318
    The custom spreads rapidly throughout Europe

    Midday
    Pope Callistus III orders the practice of the bell and Hail Marys at midday as an 'Angelus of Peace' in 1456

    I believe that you are refering to what Catholics call the Prayers to St. Joseph where you pray 3 Our Father's, 3 Hail Mary's, and 3 Glory Be's in thanksgiving to God to honor and prepare for the Savior's incarnation.
