Blue is the color
of healing. The emblem of the order is a cross within a circle, which
together make an acrostic.
The motto is in Latin: JESU ESTO MIHI JESUS
- DUX - LUX - REX - LEX
Roughly translated this means: "O Jesus, be to me my Savior (Healer),
my Leader, my Light, my King, and my Law." Life's greatest adventure
awaits you when Jesus Christ becomes your Leader, Light, King, Law,
and Savior-Healer.
According to tradition, this cross was found in the catacombs of
Domitillain Rome during the second century. It is the prayer of a
Roman nobleman. The story is that this Roman officer lost his wife
who had been the guide and inspiration of his life. He felt the light
of his life had been extinguished.
Restless and distraught, he wandered this way and that. Then he heard
the Glad Tidings of the Christian Gospel and found in the catacombs
this prayer inscribed on the wall. He accepted Christ and made the
prayer the Rule of his life. The light of Christ shone into his life
with healing and integration. He lived a long and useful life thereafter.
