“Attentive to the cry of the poor
and the demands of social justice,
we shall be concerned
about the needs and rights
of those who suffer.”
(Marist Sisters’ Constitutions, Article 24)
“Like Mary at Cana, we are invited to be attentive to the needs of those around us, to listen to the cries of the oppressed, of those who find life meaningless, of the exiles and migrants in our midst, of the wounded seeking healing an of the earth itself.” (Wine for a Thirsting World, Marist Sisters’ General Chapter 2008)
