Fr. Jean-Claude Colin’s Birthday!
Today (August 7th) the Marists worldwide celebrate the birth of their founder Fr. Jean-Claude Colin.
Born at the close of the 18th century (1790) in revolution-torn France, Jean-Claude was convinced that the Blessed Virgin wanted a group of men and women to do her work in the world at a time of turmoil and challenge. With this inspiration he forged the way for a new family of consecrated religious and laity in the Church – the Marist family.
Under his leadership, as founder and father, Marist missionaries would proclaim Christ’s message in Mary’s gentle spirit ‘on whatever distant shore’ to which they were sent.
Fr. Jean-Claude Colin …. Pray for Us!
Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord
The Feast of the Transfiguration foretells the glory of the Lord as God, and His Ascension into heaven. It anticipates the glory of heaven, where we shall see God face to face. Through grace we already share in the divine promise of eternal life.
