Day by day with St. John Baptist de La Salle

The quote below is an extract from St. John Baptist de La Salle's writings, and thanks to Brother Patrick, we are now able to read La Salle's writing on a daily basis together with Brother Patrick's sharing and Scripture quotes.

It is Brother Patrick's wish that by reading La Salle's writings, people will get to know him better and that his writings will help us all along our human and spiritual journeys.

The Gospel Touchstone
      In reading the Gospel you must study the manner and the means that Jesus Christ used to lead his disciples to practise the truths of the Gospel.
      Sometimes he proposed as a happiness everything that the world holds in horror, like poverty, injuries, insults, slander, and every kind of persecution for the sake of justice, even telling his disciples that they should be glad and rejoice when such things happen to them.
      At other times he inspired horror for the sins into which people ordinarily fall, or at other times he proposed virtues to practise, such as gentleness, humility, and the like.
      He also made them understand that unless their justice surpassed that of the Scribes and Pharisees (who bothered themselves about externals only), they would not enter the Kingdom of heaven.
      Lastly he wanted the rich and those who have their pleasures in this world to be regarded as unfortunate.
      It is according to these practices and all the others of Jesus Christ that you must teach the Christian youth entrusted to you.
(Meditations for Time of Retreat)


I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God's power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles.
(Rom 1:16)
