Heart of the Passion Daily

Together We Journey: Monday, July 13, 2026

Daily Prayer

The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest and most overwhelming work of God’s love.

Our daily prayer is focused on the Passion of Jesus as a constant reminder of God’s love.

Trusting God’s Plan

Lord, sometimes I find myself impugning others for my troubles. Help me to see the wisdom of your plan. Fill me with your strength that I might endure all that life brings me. Let every obstacle bring me closer to you and your love.

Reflections

We invite you to pause, pray and find God’s presence in the joys and struggles of daily life.

Written by lay and vowed members of our Passionist Family, our Daily Scripture and Sunday Homily reflections are thoughtfully rooted in the spirit of St. Paul of the Cross.

By drawing on Scripture and the charism of the Passionists, these reflections offer encouragement, insight and hope for your journey of faith.

Daily Scripture, July 13, 2026

So, whether we receive a prophet or a righteous man, or even give a cup of cold water to a disciple, we recognize in each person Jesus and the one who sent him.

Sunday Homily, July 5, 2026

Doing good out of love is the only authentic way of responding to the love God has for us. It is the way to a truly fulfilling life, because it is the way we are true to who God made us to be.

Celebrating and honoring our Passionist heritage

The liturgical calendar of the Passionist Family is rich with moments that celebrate the lives of saints, blesseds and companions who have carried the memory of the Passion into the world.

These feast days invite us to pause, remember and draw strength from their witness. They not only connect us with our history but also inspire us to live more deeply in the spirit of compassion, prayer and solidarity that marks the Passionist charism.
