Pondering the Angelus with Art

This week's Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord is a perfect occasion to promote the prayer of the Angelus (even if very soon we will be shifting to the "Regina Coeli" of the Easter season!).

On this day, a prayer by Catherine of Siena:

Today, O Mary,
you have become a book in which our rule is written.
In you, today, is written the wisdom of the eternal Father.
In you, today, is manifested the strength and freedom of all humankind.



The mosaic of the Annunciation is from the chapel of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD missionaries) in Nemi, Italy.

About the Angelus Project

We rightly admire Muslim neighbors and co-workers who put everything on hold five times a day in answer to the "call to prayer." But Christians have a call to prayer, too! It is the Angelus. Morning, noon and evening we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1:14), because "God so loved the world that he sent his only Son" (Jn. 3:16).
The Angelus Project is a personal project of Sister Anne Flanagan, FSP, a Daughter of St Paul. Find out more about the media ministry of the Daughters of St Paul at DaughtersofStPaul.com.
