Saint Paul of the Cross: Founder, Mystic, and the Fire that Shaped the Passionists
Description
A burning vision turned into a rule, a retreat, and a mission that kept the memory of Christ’s Passion alive. We trace Saint Paul of the Cross from family sorrow to mystical fire, from public preaching to tender letters, and the hard-won recognition of the Passionists.
• early life in Ovada and family grief
• youthful asceticism and vivid mystical visions
• Marian mandate to found a congregation
• drafting a demanding rule on Mount Argentario
• founding the first Passionist retreat and its rhythm
• parish missions, vivid preaching, and public penance
• hours in confession as a hospital for souls
• pushback from church authorities and secular skeptics
• letters of consolation to the sick and sorrowing
• final years in Rome and papal recognition of the order
