Supporting Our Priests/ Abortion Malpractice Discipline

This episode of Morning Air is a mix of art, faith, surprise, and a whole lot of heart.  John Morales chats with Timothy Schmalz, a Catholic sculptor from Canada. 

Be Welcoming—More Than Meets the Eye

Just before Easter, Timothy’s new sculpture “Be Welcoming” was unveiled in St. Peter’s Square. John explains that at first, it looks like a worn-out traveler. When you walk around it… you can see angel wings hidden in the folds.

This is straight from Hebrews 13:2:

“Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels.”

How beautiful is that? You can sit beside the angel, grasp its hand, and literally step into the scripture. The placement is extra meaningful—near the Vatican’s clinic for the homeless—symbolizing that Christ is hidden in the poor. 

Mini Angels for Pope Francis

Pope Francis loved the sculpture so much, he asked Timothy to make 10 miniatures to give away! Timothy was touched; it was one of the Pope’s last requests before falling ill.

Sculpting Pope Leo XIV—Fast and Spirit-Filled

When Pope Leo XIV was elected, how did Timothy celebrate? He locked himself in his studio and sculpted. 

He studied every detail: smile lines, glasses, expressions, and he made a bust radiating joy, hope, and peace. He even wove in tiny details like St. Augustine and Our Lady on the papal stole. 

Art as Evangelization (and Pro-Life Witness)

Timothy sees sculptures as “advertisements for eternity.” Forget TV commercials; bronze art lasts forever.

He’s dreaming up pieces for saints like Chesterton, and he’s thrilled his pro-life monument is (hopefully) heading to Austin, Texas soon.
