O Adonai

Due to a dislocated finger incurred yesterday during one of the challenges faced on our Marist Marine Adventure Retreat I'm typing with one hand, so my slice of Daily Bread will be thin until the splint is removed.
It has been a very physical and enlightening weekend as we dove deeper into each of the five Marks of a Marist student through "tasks" similar to those seen on the program, Survivor. The students came up with solutions quickly, with some students emerging as gifted leaders, and all working together as an effective team team. Group reflections after each task enabled the students to connect the task to the Marist Mark. For example, "Servant Leadership" became a realty as the students worked their way across a seemingly unreachable pattern of small platforms, by giving of themselves to help their partners.
Our God, Adonai, the substitute name for the unutterable name, Yahweh, has reached out to us from the burning bush which Moses saw to Jesus, who gave totally of himself. Our Marist schools are teaching our students to follow that style of Leadership, which is the style for all Marists.
