Passionists Monasteries are correctly referred to as Retreats. The members of the congregation are not allowed to possess land, and the congregation collectively can only own the community house and a bit of land attached to it. They rely completely on their own labor and on contributions from the faithful to maintain themselves financially. The habit worn by members is a black rough woolen tunic and mantle bearing the words Jesu XPI Passio, meaning Passion of Jesus Christ, and the congregation was historically discalced, wearing sandals rather than shoes. With regard to Popular Piety, the Congregation is also known for promoting devotion to the Passion among the faithful through the use of Black Scapular of the Passion usually worn by aspirants to the Passionists way of life. Different devotional practices such as Devotion to the Five Wounds of Christ, The Seven Sorrows of The Blessed Virgin Mary, Stations of the Cross and various forms of the Office in honour of the Passion are still widely promoted among its members.
