Did you know that there are over 150 Lasallian saints and blesseds?
Today is the Solemnity of All Saints, a great opportunity to ask for their heavenly assistance.
These 'Heroes of the Faith' had the grace and courage to pursue extraordinary holiness. The Church proclaims them as universal examples of the Christian life.
Now that they are in Heaven, we ask the prayers of the saints, for the "prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects" (Jas. 5:16).
- St Miguel, a writer of textbooks for the poor of Ecuador.
