In order for us to be successful Apostles, we must be trained as leaders in the various pro- fessional fields. Such leadership cannot come about without proper guidance. Herein lies the mission of the Society of Mary-the train- ing of future leaders-leaders that will bring others to Christ through Mary. This training has been accomplished by the work of Mary's hands-Marianist hands-all equally devoted to Maryis service. The hands of the Marianist Priest-ministering to his fel- fr ' low brothers and to the people of the world. The hands of the Marianist Teaching Brother -forming other sons of Mary among the youth of the world. The hands of the Marianist Working Brother--offering the fruits of labor for the success of the priests and teachers. We can never hope to repay fully the great debt which we owe these men of Mary. But we can show our gratitude to them and to Mary by living up to the ideals which they have taught us. p 1 A Ji 3 ' .i ff ,f ' 5' 5 G. .fr riff iii ff ,Q ,gr ,f ,fy 5 ,iq My 3 ,jjxg -1,f.f,A,,i',,uv.,,, W 1' - J 93 sl s Mfr if ,f. ,N s a f , 2 For the past twenty-five years, Brother George Mukits, a Marianist Working Brother, has led a life of work and prayer for the love of Mary Im- maculate.
