It's (almost) February, so it must be Florida! Time to return to friends at St. Mary's in Bonita Springs and our annual iconography workshop. This year we will spend the week praying and writing another icon of a significant story of Mary's life: The Nativity. This is the "draft" icon, written in anticipation of the class as a model based on a traditional icon. Tune in over the week as I post images from the class, and examples of the students' work.
The Angelus will be our prayer for the week...
The Angelus
The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary:
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
Hail Mary . . .
And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary . . .
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
