“Young people need good teachers, like visible angels.”

THE Spirit of Faith E d i t i o n

The Lasallian tradition holds that the spirit of faith comes from communion with the Triune God, who desires to save all people by bringing them into a life-giving communion with him and one another. The spirit of faith is a spirit that enables one to:

discover God’s active presence in his Word, in men and women, in the poor, in nature, in history, and in ourselves; judge and evaluate things in the light of the gospel, search for God’s will in order to carry out his saving plan, unite one’s actions to the ongoing saving action of God in the world and trust in God’s loving presence and providence when acting or discerning God’s will.

THE Zeal for Service E d i t i o n

V a l u e s

TThe active demonstration of faith through gospel witness and service is known as eal. It is focused on the total salvation of people, especially the impoverished and the marginalized. Zeal is the passionate and complete gift of oneself for the purpose of the mission, and it is manifest in traits like gratuity and generosity, creativity and fortitude, compassion and devotion. It entails showing preference towards the weak and the destitute. The motivation to continuously strive for excellence and selfimprovement is conditioned by the desire to be of greater service to others.

THE Communion in mission E d i t i o n

V a l u e s

Communion brings to mind the dynamic of association through which the first Brothers came to be united for the purpose of the specific mission that God had given them. The four dimensions of communion. It suggests openness to all people and the desire to be a brother or sister to all, especially those in need; as a means of carrying out mission, it suggests the solidarity and collaboration that come from sharing in one vision, one spirit, and one mission; as a goal of mission, it suggests the unity that comes through reconciliation between God, humans, and creation; and as a means of relating to others.
