The image on a blue background depicts the chalice and host - the Holy Eucharist. On the white cross one finds the symbols JHS, the Latin acronym meaning Jesus Hominum Salvator (Latin: Jesus Saviour of Mankind). The golden chalice contains the 'ICHTHYS' (fish) symbol relating to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our Saviour. The chalice is also adorned with grain, the Bread of Christ. At the bottom of the image, one finds "Bread of the Strong" referring to the Holy Eucharist. This image is a memento commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Episcopate and the sixtieth anniversary to the Priestly Ordination of Archbishop Michael Gonzi, Archbishop of Malta.
The image depicts the Child Jesus with His arms wide open, as if calculating the breadth (width) of His love, as found in the saying beneath. Overleaf, there is type written "Souvenir of the Spiritual Exercises held at Fawwara."
