Pondering the Angelus with Art




In the Cathedral of Verona, Italy, a fourteenth century Annunciation appears in a most fitting place: the ambo from which the Word of God is proclaimed. In its liturgical setting, the bas-relief invites us to hear the Word of God with the attentiveness and availability of Mary.

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.
