1651 1719 Baptiste Benefactor Chapel Chretiens Churchman Educator Founder Freres Praying Salle Vigil
EDITORS COMMENTS
La Salle Keeps Vigil: A Moment of Reflection and Devotion in the Life of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle In this evocative image, Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, the renowned French churchman, educator, and benefactor, is depicted in quiet contemplation within the dimly lit confines of a chapel. Dressed in the robes of his religious order, the Frères Chrétiens, La Salle bows his head in prayer, his hands clasped in supplication. The year is believed to be around 1651-1719, a period marked by his tireless efforts to improve the education system and establish schools for the underprivileged youth of France. The serene atmosphere of the chapel is in stark contrast to the bustling activity of La Salle's daily life. As the founder of the Frères Chrétiens, an order dedicated to the education of the poor, he spent countless hours teaching, administering, and fundraising. His unwavering commitment to his mission left him little time for personal reflection. Yet, this moment of stillness and prayer was essential to his spiritual well-being and the success of his endeavors. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of balance in the pursuit of one's passions. La Salle's dedication to his work was unwavering, but his commitment to his faith was equally strong. This moment of vigil, spent in quiet contemplation, allowed him to recharge and continue his mission with renewed energy and focus. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of a man deeply rooted in his faith and driven by a profound sense of purpose. It is a testament to the power of prayer and the importance of taking time for reflection in the midst of a busy and demanding life.
