Pray to God to give you today the same
grace given the holy apostles,
and ask God that, after filling you with the Holy Spirit to sanctify
yourselves,
God will also communicate to you your mission in order to procure
the salvation of others. St.

to the spiritual practices of Lasallians, the followers of St.
John Baptist de La Salle (b.1651 - d.1719), founder of the Christian
Brothers and the Lasallian educational mission in the Catholic
Church. |
