I WAS BAPTISED: I AM A CHRISTIAN
Whom am I following in my life? Is it…… Champagnat?
¡¡NO!!
I am following the very same one that Champagnat followed
I am following Jesus Christ
Because He is my Savior Because He is my Redemeer Because He is my Lord Because He gave his life for me Because He is the whole focus of my life Because He is my life Because He is my everything
I follow Jesus, in Mary’s way
And, what about Champagnat?
How does he enter into my following of Jesus?
There are millions of ways to follow Jesus
We call them Christian Spiritualities
Well, one of them is…..
TheChampagnat’s Spirituality Spirituality
He, the first Brothers and all their successors, lived this spirituality
Our Constitutions are the written expression of that Marist Spirituality
If we truly accept them as our Rule of life…
We structure our whole being according to that spirituality
And we follow Jesus in a Marian way
