Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
On this Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, only Tiepolo's dramatic Annunciation will do. It appears to depict not the moment of the angel's arrival so much as the moment of departure, when the Word had just taken on flesh in Mary's womb and Gabriel bowed to the earth in adoration before the newly Incarnate One he had always adored at the right hand of the Father.

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).
