The Word of the Cross

Our mission aims at evangelising others by means of the Word of the Cross. In this way, all may come to know Christ and the power of his Resurrection, may share in his Sufferings and, becoming like Him in His death, may be united with Him in glory.

(Passionist Constitutions, 3)

The Call to Follow Christ Crucified

We accept the urgent demands made on us by the personal call of the Father to follow Jesus Crucified, namely: –

  • a personal and continual vigilance to make the Gospel the supreme rule and criterion of our life;
  • a steadfast will to live and work joyfully as a community of brothers, observing these constitutions in the spirit of Saint Paul of the Cross;
  • a firm resolve to foster in ourselves the spirit of prayer, and to teach others to pray;
  • a keen attention to the needs of others, as we strive to lead them to the fullness of their Christian calling through the message of the Cross.

(Passionist Constitutions, 4)
