As we enter week 5, let us be reminded about the other characteristics - family spirit, simplicity, love of work, presence. The final Marist characteristic is in the Way of Mary.

What does this mean to each of us?

• Mary is the perfect model of the Marist educator.
• Openness to the action and will of God - like Mary of the Annunciation
• Going out, as a bearer of Good News - like Mary of the Visitation
• Bringing God-life to birth - like Mary of Bethlehem
• Introducing Jesus to people - like Mary of Cana
• Sitting with the suffering face of Jesus in love and faithfulness - like Mary of Calvary
• Forming community and sowing hope - like Mary of Pentecost

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalms 16:11
