Faith in Christ. September 2008
" A few days ago, just as twilight was arriving, I picked up my beloved mother's Crucifix and held it up, photographing it with the painting of mine that hangs above my bed, The Passion of Christ ,(which can be seen on this site), beyond. I never use tripods so I held my breath to ensure a sharp take - and was grateful for the resulting capture.
I am posting this image with an appeal from the heart , on behalf of a Flickr.com member - and a dear friend of mine, Vincent, of Texas,USA - whose beautiful photostream is called Princeps autem justus (please click link below). He is suffering greatly just now. We all have crosses to bare but Vincent's suffering and deep courage probably exceeds most of ours. He has posted details of his recent diagnosis under the first picture on his site.
I just ask those of you with a faith, whatever faith that might be , please pray that Vincent may be relieved of pain and healed - miracles can be delivered! I have received them in my life and in the lives of others- truly. Those of you without a faith please think positive thoughts to help him win his fight....perhaps lighting candles of strengthening hope. Thank you so much.
I have only known Vincent for a few months- but he has been a more sincere, heartfelt and constant friend than some I have known - or thought I knew- for years. He is a man of gentleness, passion and kindness and an asset to this life. Above all he has the deepest and most beautiful Christian faith - and devotion to God; and his expressions of his love of Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary are as natural to him as breathing.
May God Bless, Heal, Strengthen, and ultimately Repair the health of this good man...' You will confound the doctors Vincent!! ' "
