In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Mark 8:5-9
He asked them, how many loaves do you have? And they said to him, Seven. Then he instructed the crowd to sit
down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves, and after giving thanks he broke them and began handing them to
his disciples to distribute; and they distributed them among the crowd. They had a few small fishes as well, and over
these he said a blessing and ordered them to be distributed too. They ate as much as they wanted, and they collected
seven basketfuls of the scraps left-over.
Reflection
In today’s gospel, Jesus made them realize the importance of sharing and compassion even when they experience
different struggles in life. Nowadays, we already encountered different problems that challenged our faith. Let us ask
ourselves, how considerate are we in the situation of others?
Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “Avenues and opportunities for self-propelled individual, collective and institutional life-affirming action to respond to varied social issues must be provided in every Lasallian institution.” As Lasallians, we are challenged to understand the importance of human life and dignity, so that it will help us to respond on the needs of our community.
Prayer for the Year of Ecumenism, Inter-Religious Dialogue and Indigenous Peoples
Almighty, Ever-living God, the most Merciful and Compassionate,
we thank You for Creation and the life You have given us.
Together, we people of diverse religions, spiritual expressions and indigenous traditions
who invoke You by different names,
humbly pray that You give us the opportunity
to encounter each other through Dialogue,
to reach mutual respect and reciprocal acceptance of each other,
and to break down the walls of division that stand
at the center of most misunderstandings and conflicts.
Make us instruments of Your Light, Love and Peace.
Guide us to walk always in Your Path and be a
source of hope to everyone so that we may discover Your Divine Presence in each other.
Show us the way to Harmony and Unity to reach the fullness of human fraternity.
Give us the wisdom to discern the Truth and to freely choose what is right and just
to make this world a better place to live in.
Together, we ask You for the wisdom and the courage to fulfil Your Will that all may be ONE.
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.
Our Lady of the Star, pray for us.
St. John Baptist de La salle, pray for us.
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
