📜MAKING OF THE MARIST BROTHERS📜

❄️THE MEMORARE IN THE SNOW❄️

• Marcellin set out to see a sick JeanBaptiste with Brother Stanislaus.
• On the way back, a snow blizzard occurred. Marcellin and JeanBaptiste were stuck, lost, and out of energy.
• The two turned to Mary and prayed the Memorare.
• In a short while, they saw a lit lantern in the distance. The light came from a nearby farmer who traveled out of his route to his barn. The farmer let the two seek refuge in his house.
• For the rest of his life, Marcellin considered this happening as an act of providence.

📜MONTAGNE EXPERIENCE🙏🏻

• 3 months after Marcellin was ordained, he was sent to the Montagne home where a dying 16 year old named JeanBaptiste lived.
• Marcellin soon realized that JeanBaptiste had little religious education.
• Since Marcellin began with little education of religion and with his encounter with JeanBaptiste, he thought of the idea of The Marist Brothers, a school where the love of Jesus and Mary was made known.
