The central figures, along with Our Lady, is St Paul of the Cross, who founded the Passionists in 1720. In the left panel are St Gemma Galgani, a young woman whose desire had been to join the contemplative Passionist nuns, but the need to care for elderly parents meant that she stayed with them; she was a mystic who received the stigmata, the wounds of Christ;her spiritual director was a Passionist priest. She died in 1903,age 25; in the panel below St Gemma is Blessed Isidore do Loor,(1881-1916) a Belgian Passionist laybrother who led an exemplary, if not dramatic, life of holiness. The two panels on the right are of St Gabriel, patron of youth in Italy, whose statue is in our church near the lady altar; and below him is Blessed Dominic Barberi, who founded the Passionists in England. The icon is making a tour of all the countries where Passionists are present, 66 at the last count – most recently in Burma. It will be with us until Tuesday. A brief life of St Paul of the Cross, written by Fr Ben Lodge CP, our previous parish priest, is available through Sr Corinne, price £1.50. The icon was painted (or, to use the more accurate term, “written”) by a Greek artist, Loukas Seroglu.
