Thank you to the Saint John Vianney Center and Nancy Santamaria for submitting this reflection. Perhaps you are going through a difficult time in your life, in your ministry, or in your family or community. Do not lose heart. Could it be that grace is there too? In the reflection by author Marilyn McEntyre, Ph.D. in “Give Us This Day” she reminds us that “In spite of ourselves, life equips us for what we can’t foresee, and... sometimes dread.” She also quotes Corrie Ten Boom who wrote “Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.” Let us together be encouraged to show up in prayer, participate with grace, appeal to our supports and wisdom-figures, and trust that God is present and active in our lives. #grace #Marianist #godiswithus #experiencegod #saintjohnvianney #reflections

We pray in a special way for brothers gathered in Rome for the General Chapter, a meeting of Marianists from around the world, which began this past Saturday, July 6. The U.S. Province is represented by Bro. Dennis Bautista, Fr. Bob Jones, Bro. Bernard Ploeger, and Fr. Oscar Vasquez. Last week, July 5, The General Chapter Preparatory Commission shared the exciting news that the readings from the daily Mass and homily for the chapter Masses will be available online to allow our Marianist Family to be connected in prayer during the chapter.

Happy Fourth of July from The Marianist Family! #happyfourth #fourthofjuly

Congratulations to Brother Joseph Choi on his first profession of vows on June 22, 2024 in Seoul, South Korea. He will serve in ministry as a Marianist Brother in South Korea. Surrounded by family and friends, it was a joyful celebration marking this new chapter in service to God and the world. Bro. Joseph attributes a great inspiration for his vocation to a pilgrimage with The Marianists during high school to sites in France and Spain connected to Blessed William Joseph Chaminade as well as to Rome where he experienced the power of prayer at many inspiring Catholic holy places. After graduating from high school in South Korea, Bro. Joseph's call continued to develop over seven years as an aspirant while he completed his college degree and two years of military service. Bro. Joseph completed his formation in the US Province before returning to South Korea for his vows. He is an aspiring librarian and teacher who plans to serve in education roles in the future. We thank God for the blessing of Bro. Joseph's vocation and pray for many joyful years of service to the Church. Listen Bro. Joseph's story on the Sharing Our Marianist Stories podcast here: https://loom.ly/5MzyqJ0 #spiritualgrowth #futureaspirations #marianist #vows
