Radioso Crocifisso presso del Convento di celle Fondato da San Francesco - Cortona
"Radiant Crucifix at the Convent of Cells Founded by St. Francis - Cortona"...
Gospel Jn 17:11-19: “Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying: ‘Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. When I was with them, I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.’” Dino Carbetta’s photograph, "Radiant Crucifix at the Convent of Cells," captures a moment of divine alignment where light, nature, and faith converge. The crucifix, illuminated by sunlight piercing through the canopy, reflects the sacred simplicity of the convent founded by St. Francis. The radiant sun behind the cross mirrors Christ’s prayer for sanctification and truth in John’s Gospel. This natural glow symbolizes God’s presence, transforming the ordinary into the sacred. The painting suggests that when we align ourselves with the divine, we are bathed in light and truth, much like the unexpected beauty of the sun illuminating the cross. This work reminds us of the unity and protection found in faith and the joy that Christ promises.
