Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image


Like the image from last March 20, this is a detail of an altar missal page, at the beginning of the Introit for the Mass of the Feast of the Annunciation and fitting enough for today's Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God). Like the earlier image, this is also from the collection of The Morgan Library and Museum, but from an Italian missal dating possibly to the last quarter of the 14th century.

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.
