I admire the fact that the Marist Brothers give up their lives to help educate children from all over the world. One question that I would ask if I had the chance is how do they come up with the courage to go to places that they have never been to before and preach things that the native people have no knowledge of whatsoever?
ReplyDeleteMike... That's an excellent question!
ReplyDeleteI think that the Marist Brothers are a group of very insprational men who want to do God's will in modern day situations. I would ask how do you know God calls you, why and how do you respond?
ReplyDeleteThe Marist Brothers are bringing a light from God to younger people trying to instill a sense of trust and belief, which is very admiring. A question I would like to ask is, knowing that you are a "warrior" of God, does this effect the way you perceive life?
ReplyDeleteAfter watching that video I was truly inspired by the Marist Brothers' full dedication in helping others. They really put a lot of effort in educating the young people and telling them how God is always present in their lives. If I were to ask them a question I would ask "Where do they get their inspiration from to keep on going in life?"
ReplyDeleteEach of the brothers that were speaking wonderful and that fact that they help others is just makes it better, but the one who really sticks in my mind was Brother Steve Schlitle. He talks about teaching for a school that is predominately black and how he show he is hurt by the expression he experiences when his students say “Well, the white people...." He continues to say how he sees things in their perspective and learns their ways and he learns (rediscovers) their triumph. I think that it is wonderful because we all see things differently in another’s shoes. It is also interesting how many of them had not planned to be brothers but became because of a calling. A question I would ask the Marist brothers is how they know this is a calling from God and know how to react from there.
ReplyDeleteI admire how the Marist Brothers were determined to enlighten children and develop their spirituality with God. It is important to find who you are and what you want in life. One question I would ask is, were there any children that had doubts about Jesus or God?
ReplyDeleteI though i posted my comment before, oh well will just retype. We are lucky to have a firsthand experience with the Marist brothers education and i think we can all say its very good, so i think they are doing a very good job. A question i would ask them is, what is the best and worst part about being a Marist brother?
ReplyDeleteI admire that the Marist Brothers would go past there normal boundaries to help out others who are not as fortunate as most of us are. One question I would like to ask them is, how did they build up the courage to devote themselves to the life they lead now?
ReplyDeleteI admire the Marist Brothers support for others. They showed that they are always there to help, guide and support anyone who needs them. A question i would like to ask the brothers is traveling around the world meeting so many new and different people what do you learn from these children and what kind of an impact do they leave on you?
ReplyDeleteI admire how much they pay attention to the people younger than them and try to educate them through their child or teen hood. They have so much concern. A question I would ask them is how do they have the time to travel around the place and what was their best experience?
ReplyDeleteI admire the dedication the Marist Brothers have for children and teenagers. They really do care and love these children. One question i would ask them is how i did they find the courage to tell their parents and friends they wanted to become celibate? How did they react?
ReplyDeleteSeveral excellent observations! This topic is now closed! ...Mr. Bauer
