Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

This week's Annunciation is from San Giovanni Rotondo, the town that will forever be associated with the ministry of St Pio of Pietrelciona (Padre Pio). Father Rupnick did all the mosaics for the lower-level church where the saint's body rests. (Friday will be the feast day of St Pio; it's also my brother's birthday and the traditional feast of St Thecla, the woman porto-martyr.)

In the video you can see the many (many!) mosaics which feature key moments in the life of Padre Pio and of St Francis of Assisi alongside mysteries of the faith.

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.
