“Preach the Passion. Passionists are preachers. But to preach the Passion is more than presenting a memory walk around Calvary.

To preach the Passion is to name the sufferings of Christ as experienced by each and every human being today.

To preach the Passion is to help people find meaning in this pain.

To preach the Passion is to transform pain inflictors into pain relievers, that is, people doing injustice into people working for peace.

To preach the Passion is to encourage the followers of Christ to give comfort the sorrowing, bring hope to the discouraged, and to be a community for the lonely.

To preach the Passion is to see the cross of Christ as a symbol of
victory.”

Fr. Alan Philip, CP, 2.20.08
