The Holy Spirit and Mary
The life of Mary and her role are contained in the words which determine her vocation as the Mother of God: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you” (Lk.1.25). We have need of no other text to see Mary’s place in the history of salvation.
Being a Marist is a way of life.
There is no emphasis on any particular religious practices
apart from those of a committed Christian life.
The person of Mary is important rather than particular practices.
Called to be evangelizers, Marists pray for all those in great need,
invoking Mary’s intercession.
More important than any devotional veneration of Mary,
is the effort to make her way of going about life our own.
The greater thing is to allow Christ to grow in our lives in the way she did.
