See also:PASSION (See also:post-classical See also:Lat. passio, formed from pati, passus, to suffer, endure) , a See also:term which is used in two See also:main senses: (I) the suffering of See also:pain, and (2) feeling or emotion . The first is chiefly used of the sufferings of Jesus See also:Christ, extending from the See also:time of the agony in the See also:garden until his See also:death on the See also:cross . In this sense passio was used by the See also:early See also:Christian writers, and the term is also applied to the sufferings and deeds of See also:saints and martyrs, synonymously with See also:aria or gesta, a See also:book containing such being known as a " passional " (See also:liber passionalis) or `' passionary " (passionarius) . The See also:order of Passionist Fathers, the full See also:title of which is the " See also:Congregation of the Discaiced Clerks of the Most See also:Holy Cross and See also:Passion of cur See also:Lord Jesus Christ," was founded by St See also:Paul of the Cross (See also:Paolo della Croce, 1694–1775; canonized 1867) in 1720, but full See also:sanction was not obtained for the order till 1737, when the first monastery was established at See also:Monte Argentario, See also:Orbetello . The secondary sense of " passion " is due to the See also:late use of passio to translate the See also:Greek philosophijal term wb.Oor, the classical Latin See also:equivalent being afecius . The See also:modern use generally restricts the term to strong and uncontrolled emotion . |
