Other Marist Voices 73 and 74: Leadership / In the service of the other

This week, we published messages 73 and 74 of “Other Marist Voices”. This is an initiative of the Marist International Mission Commission, which promotes a series of publications related to the development of servant and prophetic leadership in the Marist mission. This is an extended project of the “Marist Voices”.

Other Marist Voices 73 was written by Br. Jesús Balmaseda Aragón, Missionary in Nicaragua, Province of América Central. The message titled “In the service of the other” (English | Español | Français | Português – Video) refers to chapter 16 of Marist Voices (Biblical Pointers on Fraternity for Leadership Oriented Towards Service), written by Br. Josep María Soteras.

Other Marist Voices 74 was written by Walberson Martins, Pastoral coordinator of Águas Claras School, in Province of Brasil Centro Norte. The message titled “ Leadership and spirituality” (English | Español | Français | Português – Video) refers to chapter 3 of Marist Voices (What Type of Leader Do You Want To Be?), written by Br. Seán D. Sammon.

Other Marist Voices

This project is promoted by the Marist International Mission Commission and gives continuity to the initiative “Marist Voices”, a book launched in 2022 that addresses the theme of Marist leadership and seeks to reflect on the request of the last General Chapter that underlined that “For a new beginning, we believe in governance that favours prophetic servant leadership and closely accompanies Marist life and mission.”

120 Marists from around the world, including brothers, lay men and women, have been invited to share their perspectives on leadership from their own experiences. Each brings a unique vision and reflects on specific aspects of servant and prophetic leadership. Each week two messages are posted on the Institute’s communication channels.
