Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
Following up on last week's Guercino, here is another stupendous Annunciation by the same northern Italian artist. Note that it has the same basic features as last week's image: Mary, praying peacefully beneath a super-active Heavenly realm. In this scene, Gabriel is hovering from a different direction than in last week's image. Ken Clark offers a reflection on the scene in the journal of The Augustine Institute.

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).
