Matthew 5:33

Date posted: June 13, 2020

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.

 

 

Matthew 5:33
Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘Do not take a false oath, but
make good to the Lord all that you vow.”

Reflection
In this Gospel, Jesus educates us to say what we mean and mean what we say. Jesus reminds us not to
break promises instead be honest to the person if you cannot commit anything to the person. It is better to
say “No” rather than commit ourselves to the person and give them false hope. How do you cope with a
broken promise?

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.” The LGP
reminds us that when we lend our hand to help those people in need, this commitment must come from our
heart and that we are willing to give ourselves to reach out to them. As Lasallians, we are expected to follow
the footsteps of our founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle, that highlight our mission as true Lasallians.

Oratio Imperata Against the COVID-19
God our Father, we come to You in our need to ask Your protection
against the COVID-19 that has disturbed us and claimed many lives.
We pray that You guide the people tasked
to find cure for this disease and to stem its transmission.
Protect the medical experts and healthcare personnel
that they may minister to the sick with competence and compassion.
We pray for those afflicted, may they be restored to health soon.
Protect those who care for them.
Grant eternal rest to those who have died.
Give us grace in this trying time to work for the good of all and to help those in need.
We implore You to stop the spread of this virus and to save us from our fears.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son
who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God forever and ever. 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.
