Prayer to the Founder

John Baptist de la Salle is for us

a torch of light that illumines

each day's journey.

His charism is life for Brothers and lay teachers

who share with us the noble task

of educating young people in the faith.

Send us, Lord, saints like Benilde and Miguel,

Mutien, Arnold, Solomon and Scubilion and like the

Institute's Brother Martyrs.

Give us grace in abundance to follow them

on the road of sanctity

which they travelled.

Amen.
