Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
This week's Annunciation is a splendid painting by the 16th century Italian artist Benvenuto Tisi, better known as "Garofalo" (the name of his hometown). I urge you to visit the Google Art Project page for this masterpiece, so that you can not only see it in high definition, but learn some of the amazing details that are hidden in it.

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).
