Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

We are back to Ordinary Time and our extraordinary prayer of the Regina Coeli yields pride of place once again to the Angelus.

Because I never get tired of medieval images (!), here is an Annunciation from early 13th century France (now in a museum in Brussels), courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. Gabriel's scroll reads, of course, "Ave Maria, gratia plena": Hail, Mary, full of grace.

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.
