God of all time, all people, all places,
You called us to witness the depth of your love
through the shared vision of
Blessed Chaminade, Adèle, and Marie Thérèse.
Through the grace of God and inspiration of Mary,
they understood the profound role of small church community
in creating a more compassionate and just society.

Like our predecessors, we ask you
to bless our efforts in building community,
the essential context of all things Marianist,
so that the gospel may be lived fully
in the most ordinary and extraordinary circumstances.

Indeed, we are empowered by Mary,
our model of liberation and courage.
Led by Mary, affirmed by Marianists throughout time,
one with all members of the Marianist Family gracing the planet today,
we say confidently, “Yes, God of history! Yes, God of life!”
