Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image




This week's Annunciation, from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is a 19th century etching by Richard Ford, British, after the Annunciation by Parmigianino.

Since Palm Sunday this year falls on March 25, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord is moved to Monday of the Second Week of Easter (April 9). Although custom demands that we pray the Regina Coeli in place of the Angelus during the Easter Season, our weekly image will reflect the Solemnity!

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.
