Pray for each other’s needs then conclude with this prayer:

 

~ Marists at Advent

We believe that we have been called by a “gracious choice” into the family of Mary.

Help us choose love

It is Mary’s work that we do. We strive to think, judge, feel and act as she did.

Help us live love.

These qualities mark us as Marists: mercy and compassion, availability,

welcome, hospitality and simplicity.

Help us be love.

We are called to be humble and hidden and unknown in the world

Help us spread love.

In the waiting and preparing of advent, and the joy of Christmas…

Teach us love

Amen.

~ Some wording borrowed and adapted from Statement of Identity, US Province of the Marists

 

 

 

  Marist Moment

“Let us make a place for Mary in our home. Let us enter with her into the “humble and heart-rending happiness” of loving and being loved.”
