Basic	Mary an Activist? Explore Mary's pain of losing her child through an act of violence. Susan Handle Terbay ponders Mary's grief and sees her not as a meek woman, but as an activist.
Basic	Guadalupe: A Personal Account Brother Stephen Glodek, SM, shares his personal feeling and realization that the miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe "had little to do with roses in December or miraculous pictures on cloaks. The miracle of Guadalupe is something about a God who loves each of us."
BAS / INT	Marian Dimension of the Church Anthony Garascia explores the "Marian character of holiness" and references scientific inquiry in the process. His paper is a modern look at the beauty of the Scripture-rich heritage we have inherited about our Blessed Mother.
Resource	Feast of the Visitation (May 31): To Share the Secret I've got a secret. It's for me to know and for you to find out. How petulant can you get? This is hardly the way to win friends and influence people.
Basic	Assumption of Mary Tied to this feast are themes of Mary as Mother of the Church and model for the Church. In her, the Church witnesses the fullness of the effects of the saving death and resurrection of Christ for humanity.
Basic	Saint Juan Diego, Icon of Mary's Evangelizing Mission: Model for the Laity Juan Diego’s canonization has renewed and increased the momentum of the movement to designate him as the patron saint of the laity and lay apostles. His collaboration with Our Lady of Guadalupe is an inspiration to all Marianists on how we might collaborate with our Holy Mother's mission of bringing Jesus Christ into the world.
INT / ADV	Chaminade and Mary According to Johann G. Roten, SM: "Chaminade was more than a moralist; he was a prophet who proclaimed courageously the victory of Christ, whose most beautiful work is the Virgin Mary. Indeed, his thought is definitely more Christological and ecclesial than Marian."

Resource	Third Station of Advent: An Encounter with John the Baptist Brother Tom Redmond, SM, explores three “annunciations” as part of his series on the "Stations of Advent.".
