“Mother Mary in her Magnificat sings the praises of the Lord. She challenges us and confronts us to be that advocate, that voice for those who are considered the least by society but looked upon as favored by God.” (Valerie D. Lewis-Mosley)<\/span><\/p>\n

During this bicentenary month, I have been reflecting with you on the figure of Mary in the life and charism of St Eugene, and how that vision continues to be expressed today by the Mazenodian Family.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In our Constitutions and Rules we recall how Mary Immaculate is a part of our vision, charism and spirituality today:<\/h3>\n

Mary Immaculate is patroness of our Congregation. Open to the Spirit, she consecrated herself totally as lowly handmaid to the person and work of the\u00a0Savior.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

She received Christ in order to share him with all the world, whose hope he is. In her, we recognize the model of the Church\u2019s faith and of our own.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

We shall always look on her as our mother.<\/strong><\/em>
\nIn the joys and sorrows of our missionary life, we feel close to her who is the Mother of Mercy.<\/strong><\/em>
\nWherever our ministry takes us, we will strive to instil genuine devotion to the Immaculate Virgin who prefigures God\u2019s final victory over all evil.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

OMI Rule of Life,
\nCC&RR Constitution 10<\/h3>\n

Mary Immaculate is the Mother of the whole Mazenodian Family!<\/h3>\n
