by Bro. David Betz
Mary was the instigator of the miracle of the water turned to wine. When she said, “Do whatever he tells you,” she was calling on the stewards to cooperate with Jesus in whatever he needs to assist the couple at the wedding feast. They did, and we know the rest of the story. Our founders, Blessed Chaminade and Blessed Adèle, also cooperated with Jesus in bringing about the Reign of God during the turbulent times after the French Revolution. They gathered men and women in the hope of renewing their faith lives and, in turn, to empower them to go out to share their faith with others in their communities. Chaminade and Adèle sought to revitalize the Catholic Christian community by extending this invitation to cooperate in witnessing to Jesus’ presence in society. Granted, they were not always successful, but with their trust in God’s providence, Chaminade and Adèle were able to leave a legacy that today we call the Family of Mary. I believe that it is one of the reasons why the Church acknowledged their holy and blessed lives.
Now, in 2020, members of the Marianist Family, also are being called to cooperate and to heed Mary calls to “do whatever He tells us.” We are being invited to bear Jesus and to make Mary known, loved and served. If we remain faithful to this call, we, too, can become instigators like Mary.
