Pondering the Angelus with Art

The First Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation
Stained Glass window from St Josaphat Basilica, Milwaukee

Hail, star illumined by the sun, hail:
through you creation has been renewed.

You are the heavenly stairway
through which God has descended.

You are the earth
of the fruit that never perishes.

You are the key
to the doors of paradise.

(From the Byzantine liturgy)

Pondering the Angelus with Art

St. Hedwig's Church in Chicago provides this week's Angelus meditation with its Bavarian stained-glass depiction of the Annunciation, one of the many striking windows in a parish church built for a Polish community in 1901.

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.
