"Remember me when you come into your kingdom" St. Disma

Luke. 23, 39-43

1 JN 5:14-15

“WE HAVE THIS CONFIDENCE IN GOD: THAT HE HEARS US WHENEVER WE ASK FOR ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL.

AND SINCE WE KNOW THAT HE HEARS US WHENEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WHAT WE HAVE ASKED HIM FOR IS OURS”

Jesus the Listener ought to inspire the person talking with him to want to talk with him, to be close to Him and to tell Him everything felt in ones soul and suffered in ones life.
The Jesus who is listening is ready to forget His personal suffering to sooth those of others.

In the spring of 1978, Fr. Claudio Piccinini, C.P, was assigned to the Passionist monastery of Our Lady of Sorrows, West Springfield, MA.
Fr. Augustine Paul Hennessy, C.P. the rector of the monastery at the time, asked Fr. Claudio to be the director of the Confraternity of the Sacred Passion, an organization of laity associated with the Passionist community. As director, Fr. Claudio wanted to help the members deepen their devotion and remembrance of the Passion.
It is within the Confraternity that The Story of Jesus the Listener begins.

GET TO KNOW THE STORY
Jesus the Listener is a Crucifix other than the others. This should be placed in such a way that everyone can see it, as it represents the Lighthouse that guides us in our tortuous life, but He is even listeners of our prayers, who are offered to ask mercy and forgiveness for their sins, but also help and support for our brothers and sisters and for us. The Crucifixion of Jesus the Listener represents a suffering Jesus for the pains caused by men, but at the same time alive and merciful, with the Heart open to hearing. This Crucifix therefore helps us to understand the immense love that our Lord has for us despite the martyrdom of His only son Jesus, a Jesus always ready to listen to and receive the prayers of the faithful.
As the Devotion of Jesus the Listener grew among the Confraternity members, Fr. Claudio also began distributing a pocket Jesus the Listener Crucifix during his Passionist Parish Missions. This practice is still continuing and more than a million crucifixes have been distributed.
