Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

This striking image was created by a woman with a striking story. Eileen Welch was published at times as "a Benedictine of Stanbrook" (the abbey where she lived as a nun from 1915 to her death in 1990) and at other times by her professed name "Dame Werberg Welch." The Wikipedia entry gives a hint of Dame Werberg Welch's fascinating story and her influence on 20th century liturgical art, which you can gather just from her Annunciation.

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.
