3. Mary in the new-born Church
The mystery of the new-born church - the Apostles and Mary in the midst of the first Christians - is a major reference point for Marists. It is then when the believers, in communion of mind and heart, gave powerful testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus. This is an image of the church: all the believers from the beginning till now gathered around the Apostles and Mary, and all living in unity. We can think of Mary in this group of believers at the begining: with her faith and wisdom she had much to contribute to the life of the church but in an unobtrusive manner.
