In Celebration of the 100 Years of Lasallian Presence in the Philippines
Most loving and faithful God of our journey, we come before Your holy presence, You who have sent Jesus Christ our Lord to be our Savior and the Holy Spirit to lead us in wisdom and to guide us in all things: As we celebrate the centennial of Lasallian presence in the Philippines, we commit ourselves to the Lasallian mission of providing a human and Christian education to the young, making service to the poor as priority. We desire to be agents of transformation in our society today as we carry out our work of education, evangelization, promotion of peace, justice and integrity of creation. In all our undertakings and in our dealings with people, may we constantly uphold the Lasallian core values of faith, zeal for service and communion in mission, so as to bring to fulfillment the good work You have begun in our founder St John Baptist De La Salle.
Together, we promise to move towards the future with renewed vigor and creative fidelity so as to be attentive to the plight of the youth and the poor You have entrusted to our care.
We believe that through You, with You and in You is the fulfillment and realization of our Lasallian dream . Amen.
Prayer for Vocation of the Friends of St. Benilde
Most loving and gracious God, help the men and women of our Lasallian community to heed the call to serve Your Church. Our needs are great and our people thirst for Your presence. Open the hearts of all to respond to the call of becoming faithful servants of the Gospel – dedicated and holy priests, religious sisters and brothers, married couples, single men and women who will spend themselves for Your people and their needs. Bless all parents with a rich faith whose children desire to serve You. Through the intercession of St. Benilde, our Lasallian apostle for vocations, may we make of our lives a response to Your call and to live in the path You have laid out for us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
PANALANGIN NG PAGTATALAGA SA MISYONG LASALYANO
Sa Pagdiriwang ng Sandaang Taon ng Presensya ng mga Lasalyano sa Pilipinas
Kaibig-ibig at tapat na Diyos ng aming paglalakbay, dumudulog kami ngayon sa Iyo, Ikaw na nagsugo sa aming Panginoong Hesukristo upang aming maging Tagapagligtas at sa Banal na Espiritu upang pangunahan at gabayan kami sa lahat ng bagay, nang may karunungan.
Habang ipinagdiriwang namin ang sentenaryo ng presensya ng mga Lasalyano sa Pilipinas, itinatalaga namin ang aming mga sarili sa misyong Lasalyano na maglaan ng makatao at Kristiyanong edukasyon sa mga kabataan, lalo na sa mahihirap. Nais naming maging mga alagad ng pagbabago sa lipunan habang tinutupad namin ang gawain ng edukasyon, ebanghelisasyon, pagpapalaganap ng kapayapaan, katarungan at karangalang pantao. Sa lahat ng aming mga gampanin, lagi sana naming itaguyod ang mga pagpapahalagang Lasalyano: pananampalataya, sigasig sa paglilingkod at pakikipagkaisa sa misyon, upang maging ganap ang mabuting gawang Iyong sinimulan sa aming tagapagtatag na si San Juan Bautista De La Salle.
Sama-sama, kami'y nangangakong susulong sa darating pang mga panahon nang may panibagong sigla at katapatan upang maging mulat sa kalagayan ng mga kabataan at mahihirap na Iyong ipinagkatiwala sa amin.
Nananalig kaming sa pamamagitan Mo, kasama Mo at sa Iyo lamang ang kaganapan at katuparan ng aming Lasalyanong pangarap. Amen.
