Throughout life, our inner spiritual reality interacts dynamically with the experiences we undergo. On the one hand, what we term our spirituality is moulded as we embrace the experiences of our lives. On the other, this spirituality shapes the way we understand and relate to the world, to people and to God.

When we speak of Christian spirituality we refer to that unquenchable fire that burns within, filling us with passion for the building of the Kingdom of God. This becomes the driving force of our lives as we allow the Spirit of Christ to lead us.

We live out this Christian spirituality in a distinctive Marial and apostolic way. It is an incarnated spirituality springing up in Marcellin Champagnat. It developed with the first brothers who handed it on to us as a precious heritage. While we share common roots with other Marist ways of life, our spirituality is traced into the map of our lives by Marcellin Champagnat and the tradition we have received from those first brothers.

While we share common roots with other Marist ways of life, we have a particular spirituality. It is continuously renewed through the action of the Spirit, coupled with our personal and community efforts to incarnate it in changing situations and in different cultures. This spirituality strengthens our unity and is a crucial element for the vitality of our life and mission.
