Fr. Dan s Musing One of the most common subjects of Catholic artists is the Annunciation (feast- Mar. 25). Do you have such a painting in your house? Yep! Check your religious calendar. Note God the Father and the Holy Spirit (dove) whose rays cause the conception of the Light of the World. Mary is reading human words as the Word of God becomes man. The lily symbolizes the virginal miracle. The open window represents Marys open ear and heart and womb to the will of God. The scene rings a bell literally at Noon and 6:00 p.m. in churches around the world.
