AndrewI consider myself a younger lay Marist. My name is Andrew. I am married to my beautiful wife and have 1.5 children. I am a secondary teacher. Marriage has already taught me the importance of thinking, praying and caring for someone special. I consider my wife as a Marist, even though she does not fully recognize this term. I see my life as a single burning coal from a fire. When my flame is brought closer to other coals burning, I become brighter. Now I can go out beyond the warmth of the larger fire to ignite the world. Of course sometimes, I need to come back to the warmth also. I ask other younger Marists, 'do not stay out in the cold. Come and find the fire of other Marists'. What does it mean to be a lay Marist? |
