Before the Brothers of the Christian Schools, founded by La Salle, the Pope called for creatively facing today’s educational challenges.
LEO XIV
We too, like Saint John Baptist de La Salle, can create other ‘springboards’ to explore new paths, develop tools, and adopt new forms of language that help us continue reaching the hearts of students—encouraging and helping them to face every obstacle with courage and to give the best of themselves in life, according to God’s plans.
He said that today’s society strongly pushes young people toward isolationism, individualism, relativism, emotional instability, and superficiality.
On the other hand, he emphasized that the teaching charism of communities like La Salle is a manifestation of the priestly, prophetic, and royal missions that all baptized people share.
