September 14 and 15 hold special meaning for the Passionist Family. As we celebrate the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and Our Lady of Sorrows, Fr. Mike Higgins, CP, invites us to look again at the Cross as a sign of God’s boundless love and to stand with Mary, whose faithful presence reminds us how to accompany those who suffer.

In this reflection, Fr. Mike Higgins, C.P., looks to the life of Blessed Dominic Barberi as a reminder to trust God’s call, persevere through seasons of waiting and build bridges of faith and unity.

Fr. Mike Higgins, CP, reflects on the importance of retreat ministry as a place where the Passionists welcome people into prayer, help them encounter God in the realities of their lives and create space to listen.

Las tres lecturas de la liturgia de hoy nos desafían a abrir nuestras mentes y a ir más allá de los límites dentro de los cuales vive la mayoría de nosotros... ¡los que sean!

All three readings in today’s Liturgy challenge us to open our minds and move beyond the limits most of us live within…whatever they are!

Fr. Mike Higgins, CP, reflects how the Assumption of Mary invites us to follow Mary’s example of trust, finding hope in God’s loving presence through life’s sorrows and believing that the Cross is never the end of the story.

Even for those of us who are long past our school days, this season invites us to remember the teachers who believed in us, the lessons that shaped us and the people who helped us discover who God was calling us to become.

For Passionists, the Sign expresses the heart of our charism: proclaiming that the Passion of Jesus is the greatest revelation of God's love for the world.

On the feast of Blessed Nicéforo Díez Tejerina, CP, and the Martyrs of Daimiel, we remember their courageous witness of faith, their connection to Holy Cross Province and the enduring call to remain faithful to Christ in every trial.
