In honor of the feast of Blessed John of Fiesole (Fra Angelico), below is a gallery of a small portion of the paintings he produced, chronicling the lives of the Saints, Our Blessed Mother, and the Life and Passion of Christ.
Blessed Fra Angelico
You created works of beauty
which have inspired countless souls
into a closer union with God.
By your prayers
grant that God may
raise up artists and craftsmen
to beautify His holy temple N.
and all churches to elevate
men's hearts and minds to a
more profound relationship
with the almighty.
which have inspired countless souls

to beautify His holy temple N.
and all churches to elevate
men's hearts and minds to a
more profound relationship
with the almighty.
Amen.
