Let us all remember that we are in the Holy presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Matthew 5:1-12
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.”
Reflection
The Gospel tells us that when we are facing a certain trial in our life, don’t forget that there are also blessings attached to it. The “Kingdom of God” or the experience of God’s blessings will be given to those who will believe like what happened to our dear Saints in the Heavens. What is God’s Kingdom for you?
Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “…the spirit of faith is a spirit that allows one to unite one’s actions to the saving action of God in the world…” As Lasallians, we are called to participate in God’s saving action. Just like St. John Baptist de La Salle’s reason to establish schools to give equal opportunity to those less fortunate, we must also do our part in helping and educating our brothers and sisters who belong to the least, the lost and the last in our society.
One Life Prayer
Holy Spirit
You love us and offer us the gift of association.
You call us to live with joy
You invite us to be people with a creative inner life
Lord, grant us your strength for a life full of meaning
Fill us with your grace so that we will live the values of the gospel.
Our inner life will grow
And that we will be credible witnesses
Together with the entire Lasallian Family
In the midst of our world.
We make this prayer through the intercession of Mary
Queen and Mother of the Christian Schools, and through
The intercession of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, patron of teachers. Amen.
Our Lady of the Star, pray for us.
St. John Baptist de La salle, pray for us.
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
