John Baptist de la Salle by Saint Jean Baptiste de La Salle Pdf

This volume in the Classics of Western Spirituality makes available to a broad readership a selection of the core writings of John Baptist de La Salle (1651-1719), a French priest and educator who changed the face of education in his time and whose reforms continue to influence the ways we educate our children today. Born to a wealthy family, de La Salle turned his attention early on to the education of the poor and the marginalized and, at the same time, unwittingly founded a new type of religious community: Brothers who were teachers and active religious. Through his dedication to the vocation of teaching, de La Salle instituted several procedures that are still in practice in public and parochial institutions. --student cooperative learning --tuition-free attendance --involvement of parents --student service and ownership De La Salle's spirituality for educators, which melds prayer and action, compassion and practicality, can be read afresh in every age: it transcends time and place. +

To Touch Hearts - Pedagogical Spirituality and St. John Baptist de La Salle by George Van Grieken FSC Pdf

This work addresses Lasallian pedagogical spirituality, defined as the dynamic integration of foundational convictions, basic operative commitments, and consistent practices permeating the teaching dimensions of schools that claim the heritage of St. John Baptist de La Salle and the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The dissertation examines the content of Lasallian pedagogical spirituality and proposes measures for realizing its vitality within Lasallian school life. Particular pedagogical characteristics, components of an overall pedagogical spirituality, are present in the original charism of St. John Baptist de La Salle. The basic operative commitments that underlie those characteristics ought to be integrally realized in a pedagogy that claims to be Lasallian and wholly incorporated in the formation of Lasallian educators. There are three sequential parts to the dissertation: 1) an overview of the St. John Baptist de La Salle's context and personal history, 2) an overview of his literature followed by an analysis of aspects of Lasallian pedagogical spirituality evidenced in that literature according to five pedagogical elements: the teacher, the student, the teacher/student relationship, the activity of teaching, and the school in general, and 3) a contemporary articulation of the Lasallian basic operative commitments that characterize his spirituality today, along with their implications for the formation of Lasallian educators Extrapolating from the life and writings of De La Salle, ten Lasallian operative commitments are proposed. The commitments are presented in the form of attributes that may be applied to Lasallian institutions and their pedagogical components: 1) centered in and nurtured by the life of faith, 2) trusting providence in discerning God's will, 3) with creativity and fortitude, 4) through the agency the Holy Spirit, 5) incarnating Christian paradigms & dynamics, 6) with practical orientation, 7) devoted to education, accessible and comprehensive, 8) committed to the poor, 9) working in association, 10) expressing a lay vocation. The dissertation concludes by presenting teacher formation structures and strategies for introducing Lasallian operative commitments and by providing a Lasallian Mission and Vision Statement.

Announcing the Gospel to the Poor by Migual Campos Fsc,Michel Sauvage Fsc Pdf

From the Editor's Note: To develop the gift of ministry and the gift of faith, De La Salle habituated himself to live in the presence of God, considering God as the all of his life while looking on earthly things as naught. He looked upon all things and considered all events with the eyes and the mind of faith, he attributed all to God, and he acted only in view of God. That he might not bear the name of Minister of Jesus Christ in vain, De La Salle endeavored to reproduce in his life the example of the Christ of the Gospels. He sought to realize in his life the ideal of St. Paul, "It is no longer I who live but Jesus Christ Who liveth in me," and he made a model for his life and for his Brothers the ministry of St. Paul, "On behalf of Christ, therefore, we are acting as ambassadors, God . . . appealing [to the children] through us.'' Finally, De La Salle made it his aim in life to live and move by the action of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the author of the gifts given to John Baptist, the charism to announce the Gospel to the poor and abandoned children. It is the Holy Spirit Who gives to the Brothers an understanding of the designs of God, Who introduces them to the new life of faith, Who gives them the power to touch the hearts of those whom they instruct. The Holy Spirit is central to the spiritual teaching of De La Salle, so central that the role of the Spirit in the ministry of De La Salle and his Brothers will become a dominant theme.

Christian Spirituality in the Catholic Tradition by Jordan Aumann Pdf

This history not only serves to acquaint us with the origins and development of Christian spirituality, but, equally importantly in the author's view, projects into our contemporary world the lives and teachings of men and women who have reached a high degree of sanctity through the ages. His study is Catholic in both senses of the word. He has concentrated his attention on the history of spirituality in the Roman Catholic Church; and he has taken a comprehensive view of the full range of forms of that Catholic tradition, including -- so that we can learn from the mistakes of the past -- the heterodox tendencies and movements that have arisen from time to time.
