"Passionists proclaim God’s love for the world revealed through the Passion of Jesus Christ. We keep alive the memory of Christ’s Passion through our service to those who suffer. Remembering the Cross means remembering those in the world who bear the Cross today: the disabled, the sick, the dying, the grieving, the impoverished, the spiritually bereft, those isolated and alone — all who bear a burden of pain."
