Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
With Ordinary Time resuming today, we also resume the prayer of the Angelus after seven festive weeks of singing the Regina Coeli. To commemorate that return to the "ordinary" (even if the liturgical meaning refers to the "ordered sequence" of weeks, rather than the "everyday" quality of things), here is an Annunication set in an "ordinary" English country garden by the popular 19th century artist, Beatrice Emma Parsons. (The original is in the collection of Brigham Young University Museum of Art.)

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).
