The praying Community

57. Prayer in common¹ is an essential element in Marist community life. Since our faith in Jesus has brought us together, it is, above all, our prayer that builds up the community each day.

We are all jointly responsible for this prayer, which weaves together the threads of daily events in our lives. Each of us draws support from the presence and example of his confrères. It is especially in the Eucharist that our community prayer reaches its highest level².
