Father Mark’s New Book, Open your Heart to: “Meditations on Vatican Art: Angels”

In his new book, Fr. Mark Haydu traces the role of angels in both Scripture and sacred art throughout the ages. Meditations on Vatican Art: Angels, like his award-winning first book, offers beautiful artwork, richly depicting angels in biblical scenes ranging from serene to dramatic. These works are united with meditations that examine the art through the lens of Scripture, allowing deeper, more meaningful contemplation of God’s love. Readers will enjoy the art reproduced on the 216 pages of this 10 in. x 10 in. hardbound book and can also use it for prayer, group or individual studies and retreats, or any time they are in need of inspiration or assurance that God did indeed send his angels to guard and lead us to him.

The book is released on November 1st! Stay tuned for dates on Father Mark’s book tour.

The ISBN is 9780764825606 and it is available at VaticanArt.org, Liguori.org, pre-order on Amazon, and wherever fine books are sold.
