From Marist Studies
Constitutions Project
Fr Craig Larkin SM has been asked by the General Administration to prepare material on the Constitutions of the Society. He plans to do it through stories and extracts from the LRO which illustrate the Marist spirit.
This page and the links from it are set up as a "collection point" for suggestions. If you find a good story, good phrase or something memorable in any of the letters or documents on the site, please put a link to it, or note about it below.
Bishop Douarre, his style, his crest and his motto
I like the way Bishop Douarre styles himself as "your little bishop" in doc 460 his letter to a benefactress. His crest of a little boat being tossed on a stormy sea, and the motto of "Save us we are perishing" is revealing of his character (and sense of humour?).
