Father, you have called us to be your missionaries in following the example of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade. May this year be one of renewal in bringing Christ into our world showing that with You, all things are possible. @vianneygriffins#morningprayer
Spending time at a homeless shelter and clinic where our Marianists work and one is a medical doctor Lines of people come to meet Jesus and do their laundry, get a meal, seek healing and encounter people who care!
Spending time with our Brothers in Ohio on Governor's island in a beautiful setting as I make arrangements for one of our summer Province retreats here on the water!
Beautiful moment with cousins and ready to say thank you to God for 2018! Let's pray together in a simple Mass tomorrow!
I am inspired by St Teresa of Calcutta "yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin" Begin 2019 with God!
When you care for others, you manifest an inner strength despite any difficulties you face. Your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. Reaching beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain confidence, courage and a greater sense of calm.
By contemplating God, who became a child, radiating light from the humility of the crib, we can also become witnesses to humility, tenderness and goodness. #Christmas
Last night was awesome as my Marianist community had a Christmas Open House where we welcomed over 60 people for food & drink, laughter & God's love!!
Visiting one of our parishes & schools on the island of Maui called Saint Anthony's and meeting many kind and generous people seeking to grow in our Marianist charism & celebrate our solidarity !
Gracie died today after bringing great joy to so many! She gave me great cause to laugh and slowed me down when I was moving too quickly or going through stress. May the death of this creature of yours O God remind me that death comes to all of us animal and human. Thank you God
Visiting our parish and community in Baltimore A beautiful church where the Marianists have been since 1981 Meeting some wonderful people at Saint Joseph's
Finishing up a wonderful program with our young Brothers & Sisters in initial formation on a timely topic "Collaboration with Marianist Lay Communities" The meetings, talks, prayer & family spirit were great signs of Hope and joy!
Rainy and damp day here in St Louis Getting colder! Some pictures of my house and our neighborhood Notice the leaves and the colors Hoping God will be patient so we can enjoy before they all fall to the ground Believing in death and resurrection!
