Prayer to Christ Crucified

Crucifixion by Emvin Cremona, at Mqabba parish church.

All you who are crying, come to Him, because He is crying too.

All you who are suffering, come to Him, because he can heal you.
All you who are afraid, come to Him, because He always has a smile waiting for you.
All you who are hungry, come to Him, because He’ll feed you the Living Bread.
All you who are in darkness, come to Him, because He will guide you with His Light.
All you who are lost, search for His guiding hand, and you will never get lost from now on.
All you who feel persecuted, come to Him because He had his share of persecution too.
All you who are lonely, come close to Him, because He too was very lonely on the Cross.
All you who feel being punished unfairly, just look at Him. He died for you, unfairly.
All you who are dying, come to Him, and you will live forever.

I will be presenting a highly-illustrated talk on the life and works of Emvin Cremona on Wednesday, March 13th at Hilltop Gardens, Naxxar at 10:30 AM and repeated at 7 PM. He was born 100 years ago, and has left a treasure of painted works in parish churches, besides designing 62 sets of stamps between 1957 and 1975.
