Standing with the crucified of today
As Passionists, we are committed to keeping alive the memory of Christ’s Passion by standing with those who suffer today. Christ’s Passion is not just history. It lives on in those “crucified” by injustice and oppression.
In solidarity with Pope Leo and our bishops, we are called to accompany our migrant brothers and sisters with compassion.
As St. Paul of the Cross said, “Love is ingenious”—and love must lead us to creative ways to welcome those seeking safety and hope.
Passionist Leadership Regarding Current United States Immigration Policies
While we affirm the importance of secure borders and condemn the violence committed by any member of our society, we call for policies that reflect the mercy, compassion and justice of Christ, welcoming the stranger and upholding the inherent dignity of every human person.
