Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

This week we have an Annunciation by Paolo Caliari (better known as "il Veronese," or, "the man from Verona"). I've featured Veronese's Annunciations before. 

This Annunciation, like many featured this year, is from the website of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, but it is actually not part of their collection. Instead, it is on a long-term loan from a collection of Renaissance works.

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.
