The Spirituality of the Angelus

Special thanks to Billy Kangas over at Patheos Catholic Channel for highlighting a medieval approach to the Annunciation narrative that serves as a guide in a solid spiritual life.

From the editor:
I have been making an effort lately to collect images of the Annunciation wherever I go (online or in person); I hope to begin soon to feature a different Annunciation every week as part of an ongoing mission of promoting the prayer of the Angelus. Check back soon!

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.
