Entertained Unawares

In 2019 as part of the celebrations for 105th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, a bronze sculpture entitled 'Angels Unawares' by Timothy Schmalz, was installed in St Peter's Square in Rome. Pope Francis wanted the sculpture to 'remind everyone of the evangelical challenge of hospitality.' The work includes angel wings, through which the author suggests that a migrant is secretly an angel in our midst. The artist's inspiration was He 13:2: "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares". This book is an offshoot of my Home from Home series. Angels were mentioned throughout yet one thing that kept coming back to my mind is the text mentioned above. This small offering could have taken many directions, so please excuse me if I wander a little! As always, this book is but a minor addition to any works that already exist. The reader may wish to argue and debate what I offer, which is good, but preferably I would hope that the reader would write their own piece of work so that the public can see this issue from a number of angles.
