Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image (and a message for Alomgir)

On this Sunday when the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord is celebrated in many parts of the world, it is especially fitting to feature this 14th century Catalonian Annunciation, paired in its original setting (an altarpiece, now dismantled) with the Visit of the Magi.

Annunciation and Three Kings of the Epiphany; 14th Century, Catalonia, Spain

Learn more about this beautiful piece at the website of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona.

From my new assignment in New Orleans, I send you all triple greetings on this Solemnity of the Epiphany, on the day of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, patroness of New Orleans, at the start of King Cake Season!

For Alomgir: I have no idea how to help you in your quest, other than to pray that Jesus send you the person who can guide you wisely along the path of the Gospel. I invite all the readers of The Angelus Project to pray for you and other Muslim background disciples of Jesus. You inspire us to follow Jesus with greater faith, hope, and love.

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.
