SAINT PAUL OF THE CROSS (1694-1775)
Feast Day - October 20th
Saint Paul of the Cross, originally named Paolo Francesco Danei, was born on January 3rd 694, in the town of Ovada, Piedmont, between Turin and Genoa in the Duchy of Savoy in northern Italy. Paul received his early education from a
priest who kept a school for boys, in Cremolino, Lombardy.
He lived at a time when many regarded Jesus only as a great moral teacher. After a brief time as a soldier, he turned to solitary prayer, developing a devotion to Christ’s passion. Paul saw in the Lord’s passion a demonstration of God’s love for all people. In turn that devotion nurtured his compassion and supported a preaching ministry that touched the hearts of many listeners. He was known as one of the most popular preachers of his day, both for his words and for his generous acts of mercy.
In 1720 Paul founded the Congregation of the Passion, whose members combined devotion to Christ’s passion with preaching to the poor and rigorous penances. Known as the Passionists, they add a fourth vow to the traditional three of poverty, chastity, and obedience, to spread the memory of Christ’s passion among the faithful. Paul was elected superior general of the Congregation in 1747, spending the remainder of his life in Rome.
