The Origin and Meaning of the Dehonian Cross

Created in Germany in 1979 as part of a school competition inspired by The Little Prince, the Dehonian Cross has become the international logo of the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart. Its asymmetrical and dynamic shape gives the illusion of a beating heart at the centre of suffering. The Dehonian Cross explained.

Let us work for the mission of the Heart of Jesus with a true and pure love
The source of all perfection is peace of heart
Jesus wants hearts that are generous in sacrifice and in love
We must go straight to union with Our Lord, always and in everything
Always seek to do the will of God
We do not lead people by compelling them, but by inspiring them
It is hearts that Our Lord desires, undivided hearts
The Heart of Jesus is the sun that enlightens us through His Gospel
With Jesus we have everything, let us not despair
Between us and Our Lord, it is a relationship of friendship and a community of goods
It is an ardent and unmixed friendship that Our Lord desires
I am not capable of suffering much, but I can pray much with Him
Reparation only removes the obstacle that sin put between us and love
When the hand is at work, the heart must be with God
In Eucharistic adoration, it is a friend speaking to his friend about the interests of his love
To know Jesus and to love Him is to live
Meditating on the Heart of Jesus, there is no other source
In union with Our Lord, we will find light in our doubts
Friendship is the cement of hearts
Only with love can the wounds of the heart be healed
To obey is the spirit of Jesus Christ
The Eucharist is nothing but love, love carried to its ultimate limit
There is nothing to seek in the Gospel other than the love of Jesus
Father Leo Dehon
