In faith, attitude, prayer, and action, Marists strive to think, judge, feel and act in every way as Mary would. The spirit of Mary is compassionate, merciful, humble, and reconciling. Mary's life as we know it from the New Testament was as a willing servant of God. She was a quiet, ever-present support and the first disciple of Jesus.
We invite you to explore how Marists seek to understand the spirit of Mary and the resources we offer for your own study of living Mary's spirit today.
