Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

On today's feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and in view of tomorrow's memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows, perhaps El Greco's mysterious depiction of the Annunciation serves best. It abounds in mystery as Heaven opens up within Mary's room, just as the feasts of these two days abound in mystery.

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.
