A Marist Way of Living Mary at Nazareth Nazareth is another point of reference in Mary's life and in the life of the first Marists. Nazareth is the place where in-a-sense Marist's go in spirit and from there they are able to see things as Mary sees them. At Nazareth, Mary pondered and stored up in her heart, the events of the life of Jesus. It's easy to be caught in the events of our own lives, to be so unreflective that we risk being caught in our own interests and motives. The pace of modern living sometimes makes the business of life "a given". For Marists, Nazareth is the place where slowly, silently, unobtrusively Jesus grew in wisdom and inner strength. It is the place where we too can learn the wisdom that comes from within. Nazareth is also an approach to life which help Marists 'ponders the things of God' and treasures them in our heart. It is a place of the heart: a place of gentle silence and faith. It is a place of growth.
