Mission and Ministry In Our Marianist CharismTom Redmond, SM, shares a heart-centered approach to mission and ministry for the Marianist charism. Drawing upon the theology of Edward Schillebeeckx, Brother Tom reminds us that the Incarnation is a prolonged, everlasting, and uninterrupted event that invites each of us into an ever-deeper relationship with God and with one another. Mary is our model, and her spiritual maternity guides the Marianist Family today, just as she initially did in Saragossa, Spain. (Brother Tom delivered this keynote presentation at a Marianist Charism Day for the Society of Mary’s Region of Eastern Africa.) |
