A post in the National Catholic Reporter encourages the prayer of the Angelus from a social-justice perspective.
In the image: the Archangel Gabriel is all that remains of an ancient Annunciation fresco in Santa Maria Antiqua in the Roman Forum.
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. Three times a day, we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: that "God so loved the world he sent his only Son" (Jn 3:16).
