Inspired by the timeless hymn of St. Francis of Assisi, Canticle of the Sun Prayer is Timothy P. Schmalz's visual meditation on the beauty and sacredness of God's creation. In this contemplative work, St. Francis is portrayed in quiet reflection, bearing the stigmata and offering praise to the Creator through the wonders of the natural world.
True to Timothy Schmalz's vision of creating "visual prayers," this sculpture invites the viewer to pause and rediscover the harmony between humanity, creation, and God. It is a reminder that the light of the sun, the gifts of the earth, and the simple moments of everyday life can all become acts of thanksgiving.
Whether placed in a home, office, chapel, or prayer corner, Canticle of the Sun Prayer serves as a visual prayer, inspiring gratitude for God's creation and reminding us that all life is a gift to be cherished.
