Dear SJS-LS Partners and Friends of the Mission,

A prayer for everyone from "Presence, Prayers for Busy People”

God spoke to me today
He broke through my childish doubts
with words of comfort and assurance:
“Hang on there, Sit tight, Stick to my course for your life," He said.
"I will not let you down”

He reminded me of how
he cared for the holy people of old
how he watched over them and kept them
through their hours of suffering
and uncertainty

He reviewed my own life for me---
his living concern for me'
in the days of my youth.

He told me again of his commission for me
and the task he wanted me to do,
and His trust in me as His servant
in this sorry world.

He repeated once again
his promises always to stand by me,
to give me strength
and support me in the conflicts that lie ahead of me

I know that God was with me today
just as surely as he was with the holy man of old,
I have nothing to be afraid of, nor any reason to doubt love and the presence of my Lord
(adopted from Psalm 110)

Amen.

St John Baptist De La Salle, Pray for us.
Live Jesus in our Hearts, Forever!

Stay in faith my dear Lasallian partners, while the difficult and painful has come to our communities and country, we must learn how to bear this with much courage born out of faith and out of our own experiences in life, Let us pray we are able to teach our young people how to carry on and let Hope and Service and Communion prevail when there seems to be none,

Please do keep in touch with our La Salle Bacolod Brothers’ Community FB page and own SJS-LS FB page. We have daily 8-10 P.M. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Monday to Thursday. More to come in these pages,

Lastly, allow me again to thank everyone for the year 2019-20, it gives me great satisfaction to have seen everyone rise up to the challenge of this past school year. Animo La Salle!

In St. La Salle,
