VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4
Reflections for Lasallians - Volume I - IV
Living in a Spirit of Faith, Acting in a Spirit of Zeal
The complete publication, published in four volumes is divided into the two major Lasallian characteristics, spirit of faith and spirit of zeal, which in turn are subdivided into six themes:
Living in a Spirit of Faith
- Being Aware of God’s Presence
- Responding to God’s Calling
- Discerning God’s Will Now
- Trusting God’s Providence
- Recognising God’s Love for Each of Us
- Living the Creative Cycle of Death and Resurrection
Acting in a Spirit of Zeal
- Together and by Association
- Respecting Others, Bringing Those at the Margins to the Centre of Our Lives
- Loving the Vulnerable Self
- Accompanying the Poor
- Being Educators, Especially of Youth
- Touching and Inspiring Hearts with the Christian Spirit
=======================================
Each of the above themes are subdivided by the same 25 headings listed below, each page containing a biblical, a Lasallian and a modern-day quote: Opening to God’s word // Allowing intimacy with God // Trusting // Being a disciple // Receiving and responding // Embracing uncertainty // Risking // Recognising a shared spirit and shared humanity // Living hopefully // Celebrating // Accepting ourselves as God’s gift to others and accepting others as God’s gift to us // Transforming // Building community // Living our commitment // Being a communion of saints // Witnessing // Serving as mission // Accompanying // Being good shepherds // Honouring // Seeking wholeness // Reconciling // Collaborating // Peacemaking // Hungering for justice
The vision behind the creation of this book has been to bring together writings which speak of our distinctively Lasallian focus, including ideas to inspire and encourage, challenge and unsettle and lead towards a deeper relationship with God in Christ. It has been compiled by a team of people representing the different branches of the Lasallian family, all people committed to live in the awareness of God’s presence: Brothers, former Brothers, students and staff from Lasallian schools, people toiling in the vineyard in both formal and informal education, those who have spent a year touching and inspiring hearts at St Cassian’s Retreat Centre, Kintbury, and those who have accompanied the poor with the Lasallian Developing World Projects (LDWP). We hope that this resource will be like a well that people can return to many times to receive spiritual nourishment and a deeper insight into what it means to be a Lasallian.
