On 17th September, 2001, members of the General Chapters of the four branches of the Marist Family were received in audience by Pope John Paul II at Castelgandolfo.

Part of the Holy Fathers' message is included here as an inspiration for us to go forward in hope:
"As she set out in haste toward the hill country of Judea to visit her cousin Elizabeth, does Mary not teach us spiritual freedom?  How important it is, actually, not to let yourselves be caught up in dealing solely with the heritage of the past, but to discern what is appropriate to let go in a spirit of poverty, and especially with this Gospel freedom that makes us available to the calls of the Spirit.  When facing a multitude of requests one needs, in fact, true freedom to discern which ones are the most urgent.

'Pull out into deep water!' This invitation of Jesus to Peter her extends to us 'to go forward in hope' along the byways of the world, sure that 'the Blessed Virgin Mary accompanies us on this path'. (cf Novo millennio ineunte, n.58)  It is in turning to Mary with fidelity and boldness and in letting her guide you to 'do whatever he tells you' (cf Jn 2:5) that you will find new ways of evangelizing in our times.
