To be a Maronite and to be Catholic is to live this intimate link between Mary, family and Church. The early Maronites lived close to the monasteries and shared their lives with the monks. They prayed with them in the mornings, left to work in their fields and returned to pray with them in the evenings before retiring home.
Prayer, mass, the sacraments and a deep love for Mary were as natural as breathing for these Maronites as they lived within an organic union between the cycle of the seasons and the liturgical cycle of the Church. It was this that helped them survive hardship, famines, massacres, hunger and oppression. It is also what encouraged and nourished deep familial bonds within which faith and vocations flourished and blossomed. One only needs to read the life of St Charbel to see the truth of this statement.
