As the Marist Brothers conclude the Assembly at Marist College, which marks the closing of the 200th birthday festivities we have been celebrating across the globe, with thoughtful reflection and planning for the last three years, several Brothers will be celebrating their Jubilees ranging from 25-70 years. What a wonderful sign of the commitment Jesus talks about in today's Gospel: "Let your 'Yes' mean "Yes' and your 'No' mean 'No'. (Mt 5:37) These men have remained faithful through trial, error, success, joy, good health and illness. Each moment has been an repetition of the original yes and at this juncture we pause to commend them and encourage them to continue repeating that 'Yes'. This day also serves as a day of encouragement for all who have at some level made a "yes commitment": stay with it; it's not impossible; see others have done it. May Mary, our Good Mother, help us to join her in her 'Yes' that gave us Jesus and changed the world.
