Prologue by Mr. Coveny, Marist Way Director

# data[].attributes.body
While attending Marist School, we are called, and we seek to place God in the center of our lives.

To live a Marist life or share a Marist Way, we say that we strive to follow God…as Mary did.

Mary followed God in a certain way.

Though we do not know all that Mary did, the way we think Mary lived her life and went about her work inspires us. The Marist priests call this “Mary’s work.”

We believe that at the heart of Mary’s work is an openness to all people, excludes no one, and is designed to enable men and women to grow and develop according to their call.

# data[].attributes.body
The work of Mary presupposes or assumes you have a relationship with God.

How do you describe your relationship with God -- or describe ways that you are still searching for God?  Or helping others search for God?  How did your summer reading help you in this search?

# data[].attributes.body
Inspired by the book you read, how will you express mercy and compassion to your classmates this school year?

Name specific, constructive ways.

What or whom from your book inspires you to do "Mary's Work"?

# data[].attributes.body
Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit.  As believers, we have the Holy Spirit working in us, and we believe there is nothing we can accomplish for God outside the power of the Holy Spirit.

How do you tap into the power of the Spirit, or do you rely on your strength to get through difficult situations and trials?

Explain how the characters in your summer reading tapped into the power of the Spirit, or did they rely on their own strength to get through difficult situations and trials? Give specific examples.

Mr. Coveny, Marist School's Director of the Marist Way, has written questions for us to consider and reflect upon.  For whatever book you read this summer, now you will utilize the Marist Way theme, "Doing the Work of Mary," to "look through" as a "lens" to interpret your selection and how it can inspire your actions.

Everyone will answer the "Living the Marist Way" questions.

As a homeroom, discuss each question together. As a student, choose at least one question to reflect on and answer completely in the comment field about how your book connects with the Marist Way.

# data[].attributes.body
Doing the work of Mary inspires us to “step beyond where we are,” out of our comfort zone and to reach others with whom we may not otherwise connect.

How has your summer reading inspired you to reach out?  Reflect on a few ways that you have done this over the summer.

The work of Mary is marked by mercy and compassion.

Describe examples of mercy and compassion from the book you read.

My summer book inspired me to help educate others. My book taught me that despite being difficult we need to take the time to teach right and wrong and how to work together.  I have worked on this during the summer by putting more time into helping my younger cousins learn instead of just accepting their behaviors.
