Today we celebrate the life and contributions of St. Marcellin Champagnat, Founder of the Marist Brothers. It's amazing how his simple faith and deep humility helped him overcome odds we would deem "unfair" today and has placed him in a spotlight as a "super hero",. which he would gladly deny and shun. He would be the first to say, it was not he, but Mary using his open and willing heart to devise a way that would ensure the prominence of her Son, Jesus, as THE MAN to come to know and love. We continue to do so today through our schools and other works among those most in need. It is encouraging to know that no matter what gifts God has given us, they can be used to serve him and lead others to him. We pray that we may put our trust more and more in Jesus through Mary and St. Joseph, who also played a major part in raising Jesus from infancy to manhood, turning our lives, talents and unique gifts in service to others, particularly, "the least favored.". St. Marcellin, Champagnat. Pray for us!
