The Habit of the Order of Jesus Christ.

The Habit has two colours, White and Red.

Red is rich in theological symbolism: Martyrdom, Love, and the Holy Spirit.

White is associated with holiness and divine light: Purity, Joy, and Resurrection.

Red and White in the Divine Mercy Image

Jesus asked St. Faustina to have an image painted, showing Him with two rays coming from His Heart—one red and one pale (white/light blue)—with the words “Jesus, I trust in You.”

The Red Ray

  • Symbolizes the Blood of Christ
  • It represents the life of souls, the outpouring of His merciful love through the Eucharist.
  • Blood is a sign of sacrifice and redemption, recalling the Passion and the shedding of His blood for our sins.

The Pale Ray (Often Depicted as White or Light Blue)

  • Symbolizes the Water
  • Represents the water that cleanses and purifies souls, linking to Baptism and Confession.
  • It’s the mercy of God that washes away sin and brings about spiritual rebirth.

Pope John Paul II

  • “I have come to contemplate the Face of Christ etched in your Church; I have come to venerate this suffering Face, the pledge to you of new hope.”

Rachel wearing her habit, which is different to the monks and nuns, she wears a stole but for others there is no stoles except for the priests.

Pope Leo XIII (1810–1903): “Since there is in the Sacred Heart a symbol and a sensible image of the infinite love of Jesus Christ which moves us to love one another, therefore it is fit and proper that we should consecrate ourselves to His most Sacred Heart.”
St. John Bosco "Wearing the cassock is not a burden—it is a joy. It is a sign to the world that we belong entirely to Christ."

Pope St. John Paul II
“The habit is not just clothing; it is a sign of belonging, of a life given completely to Christ.”

St. Thérèse of Lisieux “O Jesus, Whose Face is the sole beauty which ravishes my heart... I bow to Thy Will—but I pray Thee, to imprint in me, Thy divine likeness.”

The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ is on the side of the habit next to our own heart. 

The habit will consist of a white robe with the Heart of Jesus on the left and the Face of Jesus on the right.  White shoes are preferred.

This image was given to Rachel in a vision and had it commissioned by an artist.

Vows of the Order of Jesus Christ

The Order of Jesus Christ, founded by Rachel, is unique among Catholic religious orders because, in addition to the traditional three vows, the members take a fourth vow.

Here are the four vows of the Order of Jesus Christ:

  1. Poverty – Renouncing personal ownership of goods and embracing a simple, communal life.

  2. Chastity – Committing to celibacy and purity for the sake of the Kingdom of God.

  3. Obedience – Submitting to the authority of the superior and the rule of the order, in imitation of Christ’s obedience to the Father.

The Rope or Cincture

The rope or cincture worn with religious habits carries deep symbolic meaning—often representing chastity, obedience, and poverty, and for some orders, even the cords of Christ’s love and sacrifice.

The five knots for our cincture represent the five wounds of Jesus.

  1. St. Francis of Assisi (Founder of the Franciscan Order)
    “The cord we wear is not mere rope—it binds us to Christ in poverty, chastity, and obedience.”
  2. St. Bonaventure (Franciscan Doctor of the Church)
    “The rope, humble and plain, girds us as Christ was bound. It is a symbol of our submission to the divine will.”
  3. St. Padre Pio (Capuchin Franciscan)
    “Let the rope remind you that your body is not your own—it is a vessel consecrated for the Lord’s work.”

Ephesians 6:14 “Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth…”
→ The rope/cincture is often seen as the “belt of truth” in spiritual warfare.

Matthew 16:19  “Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven…”
→ Religious see their cincture as a visible sign of being bound to the service of Christ.

The Rosary

  1.  
The rosary worn with the cincture, especially in Franciscan and other religious traditions, is not just a devotional tool—it is a sign of consecration, spiritual warfare, and a daily weapon of love and intercession.
  1. St. Padre Pio (Capuchin Franciscan)
    “The Rosary is the weapon for these times. I wear it always—not just around my habit, but around my heart.
  2. Capuchin Saying
    “The Rosary by the cincture is not jewelry—it is the chain that binds us to Mary, and through her, to Christ.”
  3. St. Louis de Montfort
    “When you carry the Rosary on your person, you wear the marks of a soul enrolled in the Queen’s army.”

  4. Traditional Franciscan Motto
    “Girded with the cord, armed with the Rosary, we walk barefoot in the footsteps of the Crucified and His Mother.”

Spiritual Reflections

  • Wearing the Rosary with the Habit
    “Just as knights wore their swords at their side, so do friars and religious wear the Rosary at their cincture—a spiritual blade forged in humility, love, and intercession.”

  • Symbol of the Marian Vow
    “The Rosary at the hip is a visible sign of a hidden vow—to live, fight, and die in the service of Jesus through Mary.”
