Superior-General's reflection

Noting the feasts of All Saints and Holy Souls, in his reflection for November Fr John Larsen SM cites Jean-Claude Colin's call for Marists to be men of prayer, encouraging an hour's quiet time, especially on Saturdays, for vocations. Nov 15 is the anniversary of Fr Colin's death and Marists may wishto onour him throughout this month, drawing on the many resources of the Colin website, www.jeanclaudecolin.org.
