Bishop Max Takuira Mariu had a great love for the Church’s liturgy. He knew well its power to move people’s hearts.
Bishop Max loved the Word of God and he allowed the Mass to enfold him in its beauty.
It is with pride and thanksgiving that the Bishops of Aotearoa New Zealand dedicate Worshipping Under Southern Skies: Rediscovering the Beauty of the Mass to the memory of Bishop Max Takuira Mariu SM.
May he rest in peace.
E te Ariki hoatu ki
a ia te okiokinga tonutanga…
a kia whiti ki a ia te
marama mutunga kore.
Amene.
