Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

This Thursday is the Solemnity of the Annunciation, one of the two days in the year (the other is Christmas) when we genuflect at the words of the Creed: and was Incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man. That matches well today's "liturgical" depiction of the Annunciation by Maurice Denis, who was just 18 years old when he painted Le Mystère Catholique. Read more about the piece and about the devout Catholic artist at The Art Story.

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.
