Luke 14:25-27

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Luke 14:25-27
Now great multitudes accompanied him; and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Reflection
What is the true cost of discipleship? Jesus taught his disciple that nothing or no one should come before or place first over God. To follow Him, we must know our priority and embraced our personal cross for the good of others. Are we ready to give up our personal needs to follow Jesus?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
As stated in the LGP, “The spirit of faith flows from a relationship of communion with the Triune God who wills to save all people by drawing them into a life giving communion with him…” We are called to discover this God’s active presence in our life, evaluate every situation and decision in the light of the gospel and share God’s words to others.

One Life Prayer
Holy Spirit
You love us and offer us the gift of association.
You call us to live with joy
You invite us to be people with a creative inner life
Lord, grant us your strength for a life full of meaning
Fill us with your grace so that we will live the values of the gospel.
Our inner life will grow
And that we will be credible witnesses
Together with the entire Lasallian Family
In the midst of our world.
We make this prayer through the intercession of Mary
Queen and Mother of the Christian Schools, and through
The intercession of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, patron of teachers. Amen.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
