Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
This unusual image by American artist George Hitchcock seems to depict Mary just after Luke's Annunciation narrative ends: "then the Angel left her" (Lk 1:38). Mary is seen as a Dutch peasant girl standing not with a solitary lily denoting her purity, but in a whole field of white lilies.

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).
