Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

From the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery, Florentine Niccolò di Pietro Gerini offers this week's Annunciation image. The almost full-sized figure floating in the heavens may look like Jesus, but it's really God the Father (Jesus is his perfect image, after all). Look at the halo (Jesus typically has a cross etched into his halo) and at his hand, sending forth the Holy Spirit.

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.
