Relic in excellent condition, ex-praecordis of San Paolo della Croce, founder of the Passionist Friars. Devotion to the Cross, passion for God and zeal in the practice of the virtues of Christian life are the main characteristics of his spirituality. He wanted to make sure the Passion of Jesus would be interpreted "as the greatest and most stupendous work of divine Love", as he often repeated in his preaching. He also worked hard to "teach to meditate", to make mental prayer even to less educated and less spiritually prepared people. The numerous miracles attributed to him show that Paul enjoyed God's favour. He prayed for fifty years for the conversion of England and left this commitment as a spiritual legacy to the new Institute.
