The Spirit of the Society of Mary is the Spirit of Mary Some theological reflections behind Vision 2020 Sponsorship & Partnership

Mary of the Annunciation  an icon of partnership: Spirit and Mary  “Fiat” – willingness  Enfleshing the Word of God  She conceived in her heart before she conceive in her body: faith  What we learn: Attenentiveness to God: “full of grace” Questions: “how can this be?” Willingness: “yes” Living the consequences: “the angel left her”

I am the Servant of the Lord

How can this be?

And the Word was made flesh

Qualities of Marianist Partnership Each brings a gift Mutuality Trust in each other Openness and willingness Living out the relationship

Mary of the Visitation  Mary goes in haste  Shares Good News by her presence  Joy  Mary as the first Evangelist  3 months: what did they talk about?  Magnificat: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord

 What we learn: Realizing the gift Personal relationships Simple Service It is all God’s doing

The Mother of my Lord comes to me

The moment your greeting…

My soul proclaims God’s greatness

Qualities of Marianist Partnership: Sharing a gift Presence Service Gratitude

Mary at the Wedding Feast of Cana  Mary is central to the story  Observant & sensitive  Realized something was missing  Knew Jesus & what was on offer  Do whatever He tells you!  Superabundance: a foretaste  A catalyst for faith

 What we learn: Mary was central to Jesus’ mission Life in abundance is on offer Grace is not always obvious It’s about faith and believing in Jesus The best is yet to come!

The mother of Jesus was there

Mary & the Beloved Disciples at Calvary  The “Hour”  Mary and the Beloved Disciple  Taking Mary into our lives  A new “Family of Mary”  Superabundant gift of the Spirit  What we learn: It’s about family It’s about the fullness of life in Christ It’s about taking Mary into our lives It’s about being a “beloved”

…and Mary, the Mother of Jesus

All were filled with the Holy Spirit

And they began to speak

Qualities of Marianist Partnership Apostolic family Empowered by the Spirit; gifted We have a mission Mary is at the center of the apostolic community

THE MARIANIST ICON

Pondering Questions 1. Which image of Mary do you find most interesting, helpful, challenging or compelling in terms of our partnership? 2. How might Mary, the Mother of Christ and Mother of the Church, be featured more prominently in Marianist- sponsored schools? In our philosophy of Marianist education?
