Taste and See that God is Good…
Today's society permeates our culture
with a "prejudice against mercy" by honoring those who
wield dominating power through wealth and social privilege. In such
a society, the voice of God, who speaks
in the quiet of our hearts and through the poor and marginalized,
is rendered almost inaudible. We Marists invite you to discover
that true strength is found in gentleness. Marist spirituality invites
us to embrace this liberating truth, which comes to us from the
heart of God, by following Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Like Mary,
we too can hear the gentle rhythms of the grace of God in our lives
by making our own her manner of thinking, judging, feeling, and
acting. Mary's way is a direct path to the divine heart of mercy.
Explore with us the ways Mary can transform our lives and inspire
us to care for others. Our collection of spiritual formation materials,
which involve meditations, reflections, and guides for discerning
the voice of God, are created for use both by individuals and by
groups. We also offer the prayers which Marists use throughout the
year. Pray through these words that have helped us form a living
relationship with God and with Mary. God and Mary are telling us
to come and see. They beckon each of us to come, to try on, a little
at a time, this way of living, and to decide how we will live. Come
travel with us.
