Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
From the Philadelphia Museum of Art comes this etching and engraving ("printed from 2 plates") by
Joseph Parrocel. Rather than the more usual title of Annunciation, it bears the title "Conception de nostre Seigneur Iesvs Christ" and thus conforms more closely to the liturgical sense of the March 25 Solemnity ("The Annunciation of the Lord").

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).
