Identification with Christ in the mystery of His passion, death and resurrection is at the heart of their vocation. The experience of the passion in their own lives enables them to express the compassion of Christ towards others.
They wear a heart-shaped sign imprinted with the words "The Passion of Jesus Christ". The Cross of Jesus surmounts the sign; nails of the Crucifixion underscore the words. The sign keeps in their memory the great and constant life-giving love God has poured out for all of us.
This sign was first worn by the Blessed Virgin Mary as she appeared to St Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionist Congregation.
