John Baptist de la Salle
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. +

The Work is Yours
Considered to be the best popular biography of Saint John Baptist de La Salle in English, this work incorporates modern research to complement the narratives of the original biographers to provide an illuminating background on the life and charism of the Founder of the Christian Schools and the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. This biography sheds new light on the origins of enduring elements of the Lasallian charism--reliance upon Divine Providence and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, spirituality grounded in educational ministry, providing a human and Christian education for young people, especially the poor, application of innovative concepts in schools and other educational projects, and ministry of the laity in the Church. The title comes from a prayer often said by the saint, Domine, opus, tuum--"O Lord, the work is yours."
John Baptist de La Salle
The story of St. John Baptist de la Salle and of the Christian Brothers, told simply and without flourish. It is the story of a man set, all unknowingly, at a work of which he had never dreamed, and then catching fire and pursuing that work in the face of the most distressing odds: he was abandoned by friends; betrayed by those whom he trusted; unjustly dishonoured; threatened with imprisonment; faced with persecution. Yet never did he flinch or falter in the pursuit of his ideals. His faith in God's providence was absolute--and that faith was always rewarded.
