Last week's feature was a Virgin Annunciate; this week we have Gabriel alone. A solitary Gabriel is not a kind of Annunciation; in this case the corresponding panel of the Virgin has been lost.

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. Three times a day, we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: that "God so loved the world he sent his only Son" (Jn 3:16).
