Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
In this bas-relief from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, God the Father is seen literally breathing forth the Holy Spirit upon Mary as her open hands express her receptivity: "Be it done to me according to your word." Clearly, as Gabriel had said: "the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God."
Merry Christmas!

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).
