EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the profound devotion and unwavering commitment of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, a pivotal figure in French Catholic history. Born in 1651, La Salle dedicated his life to education and charitable works, eventually founding the Frères Chrétiens, or Christian Brothers, in 1680. The photograph portrays La Salle in deep contemplation, his gaze fixed on an image of Jesus, as he turns away from the allure of a cardinal's seat. The symbolism of this moment encapsulates La Salle's unyielding dedication to his spiritual calling, and his rejection of worldly honors in favor of serving the Lord. La Salle's legacy as an educator and benefactor is immeasurable. He revolutionized the education system of his time, focusing on the individual needs of each student and implementing practical, hands-on learning methods. His educational philosophy laid the foundation for modern educational approaches, and his influence continues to be felt in classrooms around the world. Despite the many accolades and opportunities for advancement that came his way, including the offer of a cardinal's seat, La Salle remained steadfast in his devotion to Jesus and the betterment of the lives of those around him. This powerful image serves as a testament to his unwavering faith and commitment to his mission.
