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 19:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/p0x052ay1p12b69o/wish/2260709448 Our Homeroom/Advisory read . . . williamsa90 https://padlet.com/williamsa90/p0x052ay1p12b69o/wish/2260709449 1.

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.

The little prince's love for his rose even after finding out there are other roses like her inspired me to appreciate the people surrounding me. ]]> 2022-09-06 13:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/p0x052ay1p12b69o/wish/2284631246 Daniela Ortiz https://padlet.com/williamsa90/p0x052ay1p12b69o/wish/2284636670 In The Little Prince, the prince's compassion for everything he encounters is inspiring. He listens to the stories from the people on each planet he visits on his way to Earth even if he would rather be elsewhere, and he brings childish wonder back into the life of the pilot. He also rediscovers his own compassion for his rose which inspires him to leave the massive world he discovered and return to his little world to be with her. ]]> 2022-09-06 13:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/p0x052ay1p12b69o/wish/2284636670
