« With Mary, go in haste to a new land »

The XXI General Chapter?s fundamental call « With Mary, go in haste to a new land », has inspired the Marist Union of Brasil (UMBRASIL) to establish a Marial Year with the perspective of reviving Mary?s presence in Marist life. This will contribute to rediscovering the Marial profile of the Church and provide as well a good preparation for the commemoration of the bicentenary of the birth of the Society of Mary (1816-2016) and of the Institute of the Marist Brothers (1817-2017).The Marial Year will develop along two essential axes: Mysticism and spirituality; Formation and celebration. It will extend from 25 March to 8 December 2011.The general objective of the Year is to revive the presence of Mary in the Marist life of Brasil. As for the specific objectives, they are to offer a renewed vision of Mary, centred on Jesus Christ, in line with Vatican II and in dialogue with the contemporary world, and to encourage Marial mysticism and spirituality in the places of the Marist Mission in Brasil, in communion with the Church.Power Point in Portuguese – PPS (3 MB)
