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

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.]]> 2022-08-14 19:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/6lrzmseoxlx24kmw/wish/2260706346 Our Homeroom/Advisory read . . . williamsa90 https://padlet.com/williamsa90/6lrzmseoxlx24kmw/wish/2260706347 1.

  • 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?

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.

Sometimes it's easy to find God in the big moments, but how do I keep awareness every day and every moment that God is always present? This book made me reflect on how people play roles to look good to others, but God wants us each to be uniquely ourselves. And yet, we need interaction with others to know what that looks like. Again, between solitude and community we find our true selves in God.]]> 2022-09-08 13:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/6lrzmseoxlx24kmw/wish/2288242831 Rules of Civility https://padlet.com/williamsa90/6lrzmseoxlx24kmw/wish/2288246740 The characters in this book were quite self-centered, trying to find the angle to get what they wanted, and then confronting how that would help or harm others. I saw no reliance on a power beyond themselves, they just did the best they thought they could at the time and then hid behind diversions of parties and alcohol to avoid consequences.]]> 2022-09-08 14:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/6lrzmseoxlx24kmw/wish/2288246740
