Dear Brothers, Partners and all Members of the Lasallian Family,<\/p>\n

Grant us, O Lord, we pray,\u00a0<\/em>That the course of our world\u00a0<\/em>May be directed by your peaceful rule\u2026.<\/em>[1]<\/a><\/p>\n

Let us pray that the spirit of peace and reconciliation inspires our prayer, our thoughts, and our behavior as together we begin our Lenten journey.\u00a0 As women and men who proclaim Jesus Christ, we are called to be witnesses to fraternity and to build communities of mutual support and tolerance. Today more than ever we must be instruments of reconciliation and bearers of the bright light of Christian hope. We must work together with all people of good will to dispel the clouds of darkness and banish the winds of war.<\/p>\n

I recall the Pope Francis\u2019 words as the fury of war wreaks havoc in the Ukraine:<\/p>\n

Lent is a favorable time to seek out \u2013 and not to avoid \u2013 those in need; to reach out \u2013 and not to ignore \u2013 those who need a sympathetic ear and a good word; to visit \u2013 and not to abandon \u2013 those who are lonely. Let us put into practice our call to do good to all, and take time to love the poor and needy, those abandoned and rejected, those discriminated against and marginalized.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n

I invite all Lasallians to support \u201cLa Salle for Ukrainians\u201d as a concrete way to reach out to our sisters and brothers who are seeking refuge from war.\u00a0 Information about how to show our love and support accompanies this letter.<\/p>\n

As we prepare to celebrate Easter, let us redouble our efforts to be builders of peace, witnesses to reconciliation and brightly shining beacons of hope.\u00a0 Let us raise our voices, and in the words of Pope Paul VI, shout from the rooftops \u201cNo more war, war never again!\u201d.<\/p>\n

Fraternally,<\/p>\n
