Journal Entry 5 – Marist Charism
1. Define the word Charism.
a spiritual power or personal quality that gives an individual influence or authority over large numbers of people.
2. Marcellin Champagnat outlined FIVE marist charisms that are identified within Marist school.
- A spirit defined by a sense of family:
- A love of our work: This means you want to be at school.
- Simplicity:
- Presence: this means being present and setting a good example
In the way of Mary:this means brining jesus to birth in the most unlikely places
3. Provide THREE examples of how you have seen these charisms evident within Parramatta Marist.
- when we say “mary our good mother pray for us”
- when we do the simple things right by not littering
- by being present in the things we are good at eg. swimming team, debating ect..
4. List and describe TWO ways you believe we can create a better sense of ‘Marist Family’ within Parramatta Marist.
- i believe we can become closer as a marist school by having more camps to get to know each other more.
- i also believe we can become closer as a marist family by being able to sit any where in the school so we can bond with the younger and older students
