Marist Minutes
The Marist Minute, a monthly publication, offers a short reflection on life, faith and being Marist. These reflections invite the Spirit into our lives as we praise and listen to God in the minutes of our Marist journey, recognising and inviting God into our everyday moments.

I recently came across the story of Julio Diaz, a man from New York who was approached one night by a teenager trying to rob him at knifepoint. Instead of reacting with fear or anger, Julio did something unexpected - he offered the teen his jacket as well. He figured if he was going to be out all night robbing people, he might as well stay warm.
What is one small act of kindness you might share with someone who challenges you this week?
