Let us remember...

As we come together once again, it seems appropriate to recall the “heroic vow” that St. De La Salle took with two of his most trusted Christian Brothers.  This was decades before the order was officially recognized by Rome.  In 1691, the three vowed:

“I, John Baptist de La Salle, priest; I, Nicolas Vuyart, and I, Gabriel Drolin, from now on and forever, until the last surviving one of us or unto the complete establishment of the [the Brothers of the Christian Schools], make the vow of association and union to bring about and maintain the said establishment, without being able to withdraw from this obligation even if only we three remained in the said Society and if we were obliged to beg for alms and to live on bread alone.”

What a remarkable vow!  As each of us contemplates the beginning of the new school year, take the opportunity to renew your own commitments to whatever you hold most dear.  To what would you remain committed even if no one else joined you, and you “were obliged to beg for alms and to live on bread alone?”  

Live Jesus in our hearts...
