St. Gabriel the Archangel, painted in acrylic on canvas at approximately 14 feet in height, is part of a larger mural. Commissioned by Fr. Chad King, Pastor, Christ’s Eternal Sacrifice to the Father & the Archangels involved a collaboration with the architecture firm, Phoenix Design Group to modify already completed designs, to accommodate the sacred artwork and Forefront Development, LLC According to Fr. Chad’s vision, the artwork depicts the essential action of the Mass, Christ’s eternal self-offering into the hands of the Father, which inaugurates the new creation and opens the gates of Heaven to all who believe. Christ crucified, (an actual 3 dimensional crucifix provided by F.C. Zielger's King's House), is set on the painted background, portraying it as the New Tree of Life. Set in an artistic vision of the New Creation, glorified local plants of the Phoenix desert landscape are incorporated to show that even our local place will be caught up in God’s saving actions. The liturgical scene of Christ’s self offering is attended by Archangels Michael and Gabriel and providentially watched over by a dramatic portrayal of God the Father in whom is held all power, the whole cosmos, and perfect love.
