Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

A beautiful pencil drawing of Gabriel by Claudi Lorenzale of Barcelona (1816-1889) is this inspiration for your Angelus prayer. Imagine yourself with Gabriel saluting Our Lady: "Hail, Full of Grace!" The Angel of the Lord (not named in Matthew's Gospel) will appear to St. Joseph with a heavenly message, too. (We will celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph tomorrow, since this year the March 19 date falls on a Sunday of Lent.)

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.
