The imitation of Jesus Christ on the way of the Evangelical Counsels according to the charisma offered to fr Leon Dehon, the founder of the Congregation of Priests of the Sacred Heart, constitutes a special vocation of Priests of the Sacred Heart. They imitate Jesus Christ – chaste, poor and obedient – living according to charisma of their founder and putting into practice the Evangelical Counsels on the their specific dehonian spirituality. Fr Dehon encourages his spiritual sons to pure love, to the total sacrifice made of themselves, and to count implicitly on God’s will. All these three elements make up the spirit of reparation, that was so important for the founder of the Congregation of Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and for the spirituality of his Congregation. Religious consecration in our dehonian spirituality combines both: the spirit of reparation and religious vows, that are in the Church one of the ways to imitate Christ and at the same time a confession and a sign of the Holy Trinity. In our dehonian spirituality the life according to the Evangelical Counsels becomes a practice of pure love, full of sell-sacrifice and implicit entrustment to God’s will.
