After studying the painting Annunciation of Cortona by Fra Angelico, children, their parents, and others responded to this question, “Imagine that Angel Gabriel is telling you something for today. What is Angel's message?” This is a selection of drawings and messages made by the children.

“Hello Emma, I am your angel. I want to say to you that you have to be more courageous and you have to face all your fears, because I know you can do it! Then he went away and left me courage."

 

 

“My angel told me that I should be more courteous and helpful towards others that do not have money, that are diversely colored, and those that cannot afford the things that I have. Tablet, phone, computer, TV. Then he told me that l should be better talking to other people."

 

“The angel that two nights ago came to see me is called Freedom, because she herself represents freedom, because she lives most free in infinite space. She showed me a hint of stardust and then gave it to me and told me: Keep it, it is for you, and it will help you when you want to call me. And a light from God enlightened me and I said, 'Thanks, I will.' After I showed her a butterfly and said, this is for you, it represents freedom, just like you. Take it and it will keep you company."

“My angel told me to do something for the world when I am older, to help the world, and I will like to do this for my whole life, and I will be happy as well."

 

 

“My angel told me that in the future or even in a couple of years my dream will come true, the greatest dream I ever had, that is, writing songs, ballets, and music videos, and he told me also that he will give me a chance to participate in an audition."

 

"My angel asked what would I like to do when I grow up, and I responded that I didn’t know. I would have to follow my heart and, and was growing up and that my grandmother would always look after me, my favorite angel. Angel smiled and told me: Good luck in everything and you will be my little star forever. And with the tears in my eyes I asked him to say goodbye to my grandmother and he flew away in a field with the blue sky and that was the best night of my life."

“The Angel said, Which sport do you like? I responded, Rugby."

 

 

"Tonight my angel told me that one night in a starry sky he was playing his beautiful orange flute, wearing his favorite robe of a purple color, the flowers were large and pink. The night was over, after with his flapping wings he left a shimmering powder and went away."
