Why a ” Year of Lasallian Spirituality” ?

Two years ago, our delegates, at the General Chapter, decided “to dedicate the year 2025 to deepen and share Lasallian spirituality in the Church and the world, on the occasion of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Bull of Approbation”. (46th GC, 2.1)

This decision was connected with two others: that of “creating an international network of Lasallian spirituality which supports animators and accompaniers in the interior life, which will sponsor international, regional and District programmes, experiences, and resources”. (2.3) And, in addition, it indicated a way of accompaniment with a Councillor in charge and a possible Secretariat (2.2).

This is all part of the Institute’s second Pathway of Transformation, the Pathway of Radical Availability to God. Some of these Chapter proposals are still to be specified after a couple of attempts. This year is an opportunity to start again.
We have a treasure to share, our spirituality for teachers.

He is in our midst to unite us to one another, thus accomplishing by himself what he had asked his Father for us before his death, through these words in Saint John:
That they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you. . . , John 17:21
that they may be brought to perfection as one. . . . John 17:23
In other words, may we be so united and closely bound together, having but one spirit, namely, the Spirit of God, that we may never be disunited. cf. Eph 4:3–6.

EMO 2,27 

The union of the Brothers, the work of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, is the sign and fruit of the efficacy of the redeeming death of the Lord: He died ‘to gather together in unity the scattered children of God’ (Jn 11:52).

And it is also the source of our apostolate: united in a stable way as Brothers, we conduct together and by association educational works in the service of the poor.

In this way, the request of Jesus is fulfilled in us and through us: ‘That they may all be one as you, Father, are in me and I in you […] so that the world may believe…’ (Jn 17:21).

Let us therefore insistently ask the God of hearts to make ours and our Brothers’ hearts one in the heart of Jesus (cf. MD 39,3,2).
