Named after Mary, Marianists have a
unique way of describing and embracing her relevance for Christians. Through the
ages, the Church has honored Mary and encouraged devotion to her; however, Marianists see
that Mary's role in our journey goes beyond the one-time event of bearing and mothering
the Son of God. She is a model, not only of holiness and virtue, but of how to bear
Christ into the world in all times. This pamphlet details the thinking of the
Founders and includes comments from contemporary Marianists on Mary's meaning today. This
issue is also available in Spanish.
