I urge everyone to accompany this moment of delicate diplomacy with prayer, in hopes that a willingness to dialogue may become the means to resolve other conflict situations in the world as well. #PrayTogether #Peace

There is no human experience that God does not redeem. When lived in union with the passion of the Lord, even suffering can become a path to holiness. The grace that converts and transforms life strengthens us in every trial. It does not point us towards a distant ideal, but towards the encounter with God, who became man out of love. #GeneralAudience #LumenGentium

ENG | Watch the new episode of The La Salle Connection series. In the third episode, Brother Santiago Rodríguez tells us about the final days of La Salle, who is remembered on April 7. lasalle.org/en/la-salle-co…

▶️youtube.com/watch?v=SglQCO… ENG | In today's episode of #LaSalleConnections we are going to discuss some events concerning the end of Monsieur de La Salle's life. The year is 1719.

Often, the proclamation of truth is obscured by what we today call “fake news” — lies, insinuations, and unfounded accusations. Yet, in the face of such obstacles, the truth does not remain hidden; rather, it comes forth to meet us, living and radiant, illuminating even the deepest darkness.

In the light of #Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!

ENG | On this Good Friday, we contemplate the cross as an expression of self-giving love. An invitation to silence, reflection, and solidarity with the suffering of the world. We remain firm in our commitment to promote dignity, justice, and hope through education.

As true God and true man, Christ offers us the example of self-giving, service, and love. We need His example to learn how to love, not because we are incapable of it, but precisely to teach ourselves and one another what true love is. Learning to act like Jesus, who is the living sign that God has placed within the history of the world, is the work of a lifetime. #HolyThursday

Congratulations to our Johnston Institute graduates! 🎉 In March, nearly 50 participants presented capstone projects before concluding the program. May this commitment to more deeply animate this shared mission continue on. bit.ly/4c4A3cF

ENG | What if we look at these upcoming days of the Easter Triduum through a Lasallian perspective? We invite you to reflect at: lasalle.org/en/the-easter-…

ENG | Today we remember the love that is expressed through service. In the gesture of the washing of the feet and in the Eucharist, Jesus teaches us to live fraternity and to care for others. As Lasallians, we renew our commitment to educate and serve with humility and dedication.

Join our new fellows program and deepen your knowledge of Lasallian pedagogy over 18 months. Led by Mike Daniels, Ed.D., the program will start with an in-person gathering this fall. Apply by May 1: lasallian.info/programs-event…

ENG | How many Lasallian Brothers are there in the world? How many educational communities exist?

Access the full data from the past year at: lasalle.org/en/statistics-…

ENG | A new graphic resource on the Global Compact on Education, proposed by various Catholic Church organizations, is now available in several languages. Learn more about the initiative and download the material at: lasalle.org/en/new-resourc…

Following a gathering of Lasallian thought leaders and Spirituality Fellows earlier this month, Matt Nowakowski, Ed.D., reflects on the importance of relationship, invitation and presence in living out Lasallian spirituality. bit.ly/41uHhSe

The Church is present wherever her children profess and bear witness to the Gospel: in the workplace, civil society, and all human relationships. Wherever we reveal the beauty of Christian life through our choices, we foretell the justice and peace that will be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God. #LumenGentium #GeneralAudience

How has the Lasallian charism endured throughout history? ⭐️ On May 4, Brother George Van Grieken, FSC, will draw from his new book, "Holy Audacity," and look back at three historic moments of Lasallian faith, zeal and association. bit.ly/4c6qgnE

▶️youtube.com/watch?v=PRdw0U… ENG | In this episode of #LaSalleConnections, we are going to talk about an encounter that took place in March 1679, although we do not know exactly when. It was a very important encounter in the life of Monsieur de La Salle because it changed his life and thus ended up changing the lives of many others. It also changed ours.

Through the Paschal Mystery, the Lord shows us that the power of love transforms even the most difficult and challenging circumstances. Though suffering cannot always be avoided or eliminated, it still holds a redemptive significance that restores lost dignity and opens the door to new life.
