 At
the heart of the spirit of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, Founder
of the Christian Brothers, is the belief that in serving people, we
become closer to God. Saint La Salle wrote in his Meditations for
the Time of Retreat of the special work that an educator undertakes.
"Since you are ambassadors and ministers of Jesus Christ in the work
that you do, you must act as representing Jesus Christ Himself. Your
students must be convinced that the truth of Jesus Christ comes from
your mouth, that it is only in His name that you teach." Enter to
Learn and Leave to Serve has become a familiar motto for Lasallian
educational ministries around the world.
If you feel somehow
called to respond to the educational needs of youth, locally or overseas,
there is much work to be done and many ways to do it. Brothers are
vowed Religious who live in community to meet these needs. Many selfless
Lasallian
Partners lay women and men, religious Sisters, Brothers from other
Orders, and priests - support the Brothers in their vital ministry
in the Catholic Church. Others contribute to the Lasallian mission
through volunteering as tutors and prefects, and through financial
donations.
