This book is an examination of matters to do with the spirituality of the Catholic religious order founded in Franc in 1800s by Jean-Claude Colin, the Marist Fathers, as distinct from the Marist Brothers founded by Marcellin Champagnat. The book examines a few words in the Constitutions: 'to think as Mary, judge as Mary, feel and act as Mary in all things.' Nearly one hundred years later, in the opinion of Marist historian Jean Coste, this sentence (with two others) were themes 'of the first part of the Constitutions since 1836'. But, in its present form, it had 'such an original and direct sound', 'a vigour and striking power' of a 'mind sure of itself', and a consistency with the Founder's style that it (with the other two) were, clearly, 'dictated by Fr. Colin himself '. In this 'handful of words', we have, then, what can rightly be described as the Marist axiom: 'To think as Mary, judge as Mary, feel and act as Mary in all things'. At the very end of Coste's touchstone commentary, it is interesting to note the specific aspect that he highlights (in italics): we call the Marist spirit that common way of feeling and reacting ...

In 1830, at the age of forty, Jean-Claude Colin accepted the call of his colleagues to take charge of the Society of Mary (Marists). He had joined this project as a seminarian in Lyons, France, in 1816, along with Marcellin Champagnat, future founder of the Marist teaching brothers. Since ordination, he had been an assistant priest at Cerdon (photo below), preached revival missions in rural districts and been principal of a high school-seminary. Colin always insisted that he was only a temporary superior until someone more capable could take over. Yet, by the time he resigned in 1854, he had obtained papal approval of the priests' branch, established the Society firmly in France, especially in education, and sent fifteen expeditions of missionary priests and brothers to the remote and scattered islands of the southwest Pacific. There they planted the Catholic Church in New Zealand, Wallis and Futuna, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji and New Caledonia. Between his resignation and his death in 1875, Colin wrote Constitutions for the priests and brothers of the Society of Mary and for the Marist sisters. He also left a rich spiritual teaching. For this achievement, the Society regards him, despite his reluctance, as its Founder.

In 1836, the newly created Society of Mary receives from the Holy See the responsibility of evangelizing Oceania. Jean-Claude Colin, freshly elected Superior General, will eventually send 117 missionaries there. These men record what they observe, they keep their logbooks, they say how they are received, they state the difficulties they meet, they record the works they undertake... in short, they write.

"The many Pacific Islands have many founding stories. For the Catholics of Western Oceania, stories go back to the members of the Society of Mary and the man who sent them out as religious: Jean-Claude Colin, who agreed to staff the mission in February 1836. This book expores the relationship of Colin to the Marists, to Jean-Baptiste Pompallier, the first Catholic bishop, and to the pope in Rome. ... This volume, the fruit of international cooperation, focuses on the French presence (religious and political) in the Pacific and on the missionaries who were mostly Marists (religious men and women, and lay people)."--P.
