The heart of the spirit of the Society of Mary
is not to be found in devotion To Mary
so much as in an identification WITH her
in her attitude to Christ,
to the Church,
and to people,
Not so much a devotion to a person
as devotion to a particular way of acting

This spirit is assimilated best
By meditation on the mystery of Mary
At the heart of the Church
Which began at Nazareth
Reached a peak at Pentecost
And continues until the last day.
