Marist Spirituality

In the latest issue of the Marist Notebooks (32, May 2014) we have attempted to give priority to a central subject: spirituality. The articles in this issue have the advantage of treating Marist spirituality from different and complementary angles: mystical, institutional, historical, patrimonial, educational. For “spirituality” is not a static concept, even if our Constitutions have defined the main axes. They will contribute to make us used to the idea that the Institute has become, more truly than before, a school of spirituality, each of its members being called not only to live this but also to share it.
