Scope and content

The modern image depicts the Host in a sphere. Beneath this there are the words of St Francis of Assisi "Deus meus et omnia" meaning "My God and my all." This image is a memento commemorating the seven hundred and fifty centenary since the Order of St Francis of Assisi was approved by edict of Pope Innocent III at the Basilica of St John Lateran. In Malta, all Franciscans met at St John's Co-Cathedral, together with Archbishop Michael Gonzi for a solemn mass. At the top, one finds the coat of arms of the Franciscan Order consists of a cross with two arms crossing each other and nailed to the Cross—or at least with a cross in the background. One arm is that of Jesus Christ; the other is of St. Francis of Assisi. Beneath this memento, one finds a quote from the Life of St Francis written by Thomas of Celano.
