Doce me passionem Tuam

"Doce me passionem Tuam" (pronounced "doe-chay may") is a simple aspiration that you can pray many times a day: it asks Christ to "teach me Your suffering," or more literally, "teach me your passion".

The Prayer

The paradoxical secret of happiness is found in unity with Christ on the Cross. Instead of asking God to help us avoid suffering, or to explain why we are suffering, this prayer takes us more deeply into Christ’s suffering, where we encounter the depths of His love and find liberation. The riches of Jesus’ Passion are endless: this is a prayer you can repeat countless times and never fully plumb its depths or exhaust its meaning. If you write this short phrase on your heart and pray it habitually, it can change your life.

Doce me passionem Tuam moves us from our suffering to His.
