Good morning Tranmere
community.
I came across
a link that led me to a large sculpture being unveiled in St Peter’s Square in
honour of Migrants and Refugees. The sculpture is called ‘Angels Unawares'.
I learnt about the artist, Canadian Catholic Timothy Schmalz. His most famous sculpture, " Homeless Jesus"
depicts a gaunt man lying on a bench covered by a thin blanket, with enough
space for someone to sit at his exposed feet, which bear the nail wounds of his
crucifixion.
It is now displayed outdoors in more than 100 cities worldwide. It evokes in
others the same epiphany he recalls when he spotted a shivering homeless man
under a thin blanket on a bench in downtown Toronto at Christmastime in 2011.
"I just stared at him, and I couldn't stop thinking of Matthew 25, and
then: 'That's Jesus. That's the least of my brother,' " Schmalz says.
"I couldn't get that image — or those words — out of my head. I believe it
was a true encounter with the divine at that moment."
