SUMMARY:Saint Jaime Hilario & Martyrs of Turon
DESCRIPTION:During the Spanish Civil War (1931-1939)\, almost 7\,000 Catholic priests\, Brothers\, and Sisters were executed. Civilians and Religious were treated harshly by both sides\, Brothers were tried and executed for the crime of providing a human and Christian education. Brother Jaime on the way to execution told the soldiers\, ” God be blessed! In heaven I shall pray a great deal for all of you. What more could I ask for than to die when my only crime is that I am religious and that I have worked for the Christian education of youth?” \n\nPrayer\nLet us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.\nMay we find in Saint Jaime Hilario’s last words\, “to die for Christ is to live\, my friends”\nthe blessing and challenge of the Christian life.\nMay we too find Christ transforming our weakness…\n“He said to me\, ‘My grace is sufficient for you\, for power is made perfect in weakness.’ I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses\, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore\, I am content with weaknesses\, insults\, hardships\, persecutions\, and constraints\, for the sake of Christ\, for when I am weak\, then I am strong” (St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians\, 12:9-10).\nSaint John Baptist de La Salle… Pray for us.\nSaint Jaime Hilario… Pray for us.\nMartyrs of Turon… Pray for us. \nLive Jesus in our hearts… Forever!

SUMMARY:Blessed Nicolas Barre
DESCRIPTION:As a young man\, Nicolas\, discerned and joined the priesthood\, apart of the religious community Minim Order of St. Francis Paola. He was attracted to their spirituality\, asceticism\, and mission centered on the conversion of hearts. He accompanied a group of women in supporting “Little Charitable Schools” as he recognized this as need in the society of his day. As a spiritual director to a young John Baptist de La Salle\, he was an inspiration and certainly influenced the founding of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. \n\nPrayer\nLet us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.\nLord I want nothing more\, I desire nothing more\,\nonly to be ready to desire what you desire\, and as you desire it.\nLord\, you hold me in your presence\, you watch over everything\,\nall my concerns\, all that happens to me.\nNothing escapes your adorable guidance of my life- this is enough for me.\nO Jesus\, O Love\, You are my God and my all\, center and infinity of Goodness and greatness.\nMay Jesus comes to be in us\, May He find his delight in us\, and so there will nothing left for us to desire.\nChoose\, Lord\, what you want of me. Do with me what you will.\nAct and plan everything in the way that pleases you\, and I will try to desire\, to act\,\nand follow you in everything and everywhere without reserve or limit.\nFinally\, Lord\, I want to belong totally to you\, no more division nor separation\nneither in life nor in death\, in sorrow or in joy\, on earth or in heaven.\nMy Beloved is all mine\, and I am His forever. O Jesus! O Love.\n(Prayer of abandonment by Nicolas Barre\, letter 12)\nSaint John Baptist de La Salle… Pray for us.\nBlessed Nicolas Barre… Pray for us.\nLive Jesus in our hearts… Forever!

SUMMARY:Blessed Arnold Reche
DESCRIPTION:Born to a large family\, as a boy he worked as a farmer to support his family. He taught catechism in the village he was from. As a young adult\, he met the Brothers while attending evening classes in their school and was attracted to their life. As a Brother\, he taught agriculture\, yet his zeal led him to catechize. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870\, he worked with other Brothers as a nurse to meet the medical and spiritual needs of wounded on both sides. \n\nFrom the Audience of Nov. 2\, 1987\, Pope John Paul II\nYes\, you young people\, who discover the figure of Brother Arnould\, it is with special thought of you that I would like to evoke some aspects of his personality that are so many calls for today. We are struck by the solidity of this boy who\, at a very young age\, works hard with his hands\, who develops his knowledge by himself\, and who radiates a deep faith. \nMay he inspire you with respect for all forms of work\, the courage of personal effort to progress intellectually\, to mature your faith and bear witness to it in your school environment\, in your parishes\, in your youth groups\, in your families! \nBuild your personality on a firm foundation\, in the educational community. Is it necessary to recall that Brother Arnould is a model for educators? His conception of a complete formation continued into adulthood can inspire Catholic schools today. May the masters have the same concern for rigor\, pedagogy attentive to people\, coherence in the life of the mind\, heart and will! \nOne of Brother Arnould’s secrets was a life of intense prayer. As a catechist in particular\, he manifested the true coherence between the interior life and what he taught: one felt he was passionate about the Gospel. \nFrom his years of manual labor\, he was an exemplary Christian. Brother of the Christian Schools\, he deepens his spiritual experience while leading a very active life. \nMay he inspire his Brothers today! May it arouse in young people the vocations necessary for the educational work to be continued with the same evangelical zeal in the many countries where the Brothers work! \nI invoke the intercession of Blessed Brother Arnould for all of you\, for those who keep alive his memory in his region\, for the disciples of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle and their students. May you all hear his exhortation: “You must act by grace\, and make it appear that you are leading yourself by the movement of the Spirit of God”! \n\n\nPrayer \nLet us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.\nLord crucified and risen\, teach us to face the struggles of daily life and thus to live in greater fullness. You have humbly and patiently welcomed the failures of human life\, as well as the sufferings of your crucifixion. So the sorrows and struggles that each day brings us\, help us to live them as opportunities to grow and look more like yourself. \nMake us able to face them patiently and bravely\, full of confidence in your support. Make us understand that we will only reach the fullness of life by constantly dying to ourselves and our selfish desires\, for only by dying with You can we be resurrected with You. \nLet nothing now make us suffer and weep to the point of forgetting the joy of the Resurrection. \nYou are the shattered sun of the Father’s love\, You are the hope of eternal happiness\, You are the fire of burning love. \nMay your joy\, O Jesus\, be strength in us and may it be between us\, bond of peace\, unity and love. \nSaint John Baptist de La Salle… Pray for us.\nBlessed Arnold Reche… Pray for us.\nLive Jesus in our hearts… Forever!
