Francis' Blessing Art Print

"Saint Francis is a favorite of everyone. Of course, he had an overwhelming love of God's creation, which I also share. I love to feed the birds and see God's Hand in every detail of this world's beauty and order."But many don't realize that Saint Francis had such a consuming love for Christ and His Passion that he was actually given the Stigmata, a replication of the wounds Jesus suffered for our sins."This is not a pretty picture, really, to look at, but it is beautiful when one ponders how closely Francis identified with Jesus and how he desired to join his suffering with His, for souls." (from artist Sue Kouma Johnson) IMPORTANT: Each of the 3 sizes indicates outside dimensions.

Sue also has other images of St Francis, which show him preaching to the birds outside of the village of Assisi. She has done it, like most of her work, in a style that is like a cross between Giotto and Monet. Please visit our store often to see new pictures as we post them. Thank you for your interest.
