Theme: “LIVE THE ANIMO THROUGH FAITH, SERVICE AND COMMUNION”

Pagbasa: Mula sa aklat ni Mateo 8: 18-22

Nang makita nga ni Hesus ang lubhang maraming tao sa palibot niya ay ipinag-utos niyang tumawid

sa kabilang ibayo. At lumapit ang isang eskriba at sa kaniya'y nagsabi, guro, susunod ako sa iyo saan ka

man pumaroon. At sinabi sa kaniya ni Hesus, May mga lungga ang mga zorra at may mga pugad ang mga ibon sa langit datapuwa't ang anak ng tao ay walang kahiligan ang kaniyang ulo. At ang isa naman sa

kaniyang mga alagad ay nagsabi sa kaniya, “Panginoon, tulutan mo muna akong makauwi at mailibing ko ang

aking ama”. Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ni Hesus, sumunod ka sa akin at pabayaan mong ilibing ng mga

patay ang kanilang sariling mga patay.

Pagninilay: Ang Panginoon Hesus ay humihikayat sa atin na maglaan tayo ng oras sa kanya, mabuting pakikipag-ugnayan,pakikipagkaibigan at pagtitiwala sa kanyang mga alituntunin dito sa lupa para ng sa langit. Paano

natin ibibigay sa Diyos ang ating pagsunod sa kanyang paanyaya sa atin na mamuhay nang ayon sa kanyang

kalooban?

Panalangin: Tanggapin mo Panginoon ang aming kalayaan, pag-alaala SA YONG kadakilaan ang aming buong kagalingan.

Isinusuko namin na mangyari ang mga bagay-bagay ayon sa IYONG pagpapala at gabay. Patuloy MO kaming bigyan nang patnubay at walang hanggang pagmamahal. Palaguin MO ang aming pananampalataya upang

malampasan namin ang lahat ng pagsubok. Amen

Lasallian Core Value: FAITH

Graduate Attribute: Christian Gentleman De La Salle believed God to be a loving and gracious God. It was this deep faith in God’s goodness, nurtured by a life of prayer that led De La Salle to commit to the education of young people. If faith in God had not sustained him, De La Salle would have abandoned this work, for which he felt no initial attraction. If faith in God had not been his motive, he would not have endured the many trials and humiliations that came his way. Clearly then, De La Salle undertook this work because he believed it to be an invitation from God.

And so, De La Salle often counseled his Brothers to do all things in view of God. He writes: The Spirit of this Institute is first a spirit of Faith, which should induce those who compose it not to look on anything but with the eyes of faith, not to do anything but in view of God, and to attribute all to God, always entering into these sentiments of Job: “the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away: as it pleases the Lord, so be it done.” (Rule) Thus, to speak of the Lasallian as a Christian Gentleman is not to conjure up the image of the prim and proper Victorian Gentleman. The Lasallian as Christian Gentleman is rather one, whose motives are animated by a deep faith in God’s love and goodness. His actions towards others demonstrate this faith. It is the experience and conviction of the goodness of God that compels him to love others in return. It is the love of God that motivates all his actions and choices.

”Living the Animo through Faith, Service and Communion”

“LAUDATO SI”: The most subversive text of the year

For a good many of us, “Laudato Si” (Praised Be) will be the most subversive text we will read all year, or indeed for many years. The

extraordinary eco-encyclical from Pope Francis contains explosive truths, not about the science of climate change, but about the

persistence of poverty, the excesses of a market economy, the fetish for technology and the technocratic solution, the consequences of

middle-class aspirations, the failings of the media, even the role of the human in a “rapidifying” world.

“Laudato Si” offers the kind of radical reading that subverts our assumptions, challenges our deepest convictions, makes us see anew.

The lengthy document attempts to give a truly global treatment of the ecological catastrophe we all face; some or many of the notes the

Pope strikes will be familiar to us, but taken together, the whole acquires a resonance unheard since “Gaudium et Spes” signaled the

reconciliation between the Church and the modern world.

Right on the first page, in Paragraph 2, we read: “The violence present in our hearts, wounded by sin, is also reflected in the symptoms

of sickness evident in the soil, in the water, in the air and in all forms of life. This is why the earth herself, burdened and laid waste, is

among the most abandoned and maltreated of our poor; she ‘groans in travail’ (Rom 8:22).”

The earth itself is poor. This powerful assertion flies in the face of the easy assumption that the planet is rich in still untapped resources,

and that vulnerability is a human construct not applicable to it; the statement forces us to see that the connection between poverty and

planetary fragility is intimate, as close as it gets.

Given the advice on homilies Pope Francis suggested in his apostolic exhortation “Evangelii Gaudium,” it is no surprise to find that

Paragraph 16 helpfully lists the key themes which “reappear as the Encyclical unfolds.” There are 10 in all: “the intimate relationship

between the poor and the fragility of the planet, the conviction that everything in the world is connected, the critique of new paradigms

and forms of power derived from technology, the call to seek other ways of understanding the economy and progress, the value proper

to each creature, the human meaning of ecology, the need for forthright and honest debate, the serious responsibility of international and

local policy, the throwaway culture and the proposal of a new lifestyle.”

Some passages acquire a deeper shade when read against the Pope’s personal background. For instance, those of us who believe in the

“aspirational” dimension of planned real estate communities will be disturbed to read Paragraph 45: “In some places, rural and urban

alike, the privatization of certain spaces has restricted people’s access to places of particular beauty. In other, ‘ecological’

neighborhoods have been created which are closed to outsiders in order to ensure an artificial tranquillity. Frequently, we find beautiful

and carefully manicured green spaces in so-called ‘safer’ areas of cities, but not in the more hidden areas where the disposable of society

live.”

This note reminds us of a disclosure Francis made, in that series of interviews Francesca Ambrogetti and Sergio Rubin conducted with

him when he was still cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires, about his first trip abroad, in the 1970s: “In Mexico I came across a gated

community for the first time, something that didn’t exist in Argentina back then. I was astonished to see how a group of people could cut

themselves off from society.” Paragraph 45 revisits that original moment of astonishment, but now sees in the phenomenon of the gated

community another aspect of it: not the decision of “a group of people” to “cut themselves off from society,” but rather the effect that

cutting off has on the “outsiders,” the “disposable.” Taken together, the “artificial tranquillity” that gated communities offer may come

at too high a price.

Other passages hit us where we least expect it. Paragraph 47, for instance, is a startling critique of the media’s role in “mental pollution.”

Startling because it comes unexpectedly in a section on the declining quality of human life, and because it does not pull any punches. It

begins: “when media and the digital world become omnipresent, their influence can stop people from learning how to live wisely, to

think deeply and to love generously.” It continues: “True wisdom, as the fruit of self-examination, dialogue and generous encounter

between persons, is not acquired by a mere accumulation of data which eventually leads to overload and confusion, a sort of mental

pollution.” It concludes: “We should be concerned that, alongside the exciting possibilities offered by these media, a deep and

melancholic dissatisfaction with interpersonal relations, or a harmful sense of isolation, can also arise.”

There are many more such passages; in a document that tries to see the greatest crisis facing the planet in the clearest terms, there is no

room for fudging or word-mincing. The Pope’s visit to the United States in September will provoke an encounter with science-denying

Catholic conservatives. The encyclical will not allow them to misunderstand Francis. Here, for instance, is Paragraph 67: “We are not

God. The earth was here before us and it has been given to us. This allows us to respond to the charge that Judaeo-Christian thinking, on

the basis of the Genesis account which grants man ‘dominion’ over the earth (cf. Gen. 1:28), has encouraged the unbridled exploitation

of nature by painting him as domineering and destructive by nature. This is not a correct interpretation of the Bible as understood by the

Church.” That, it seems to me, is a subversion of the peculiarly American gospel of never-ending resource-rich prosperity.
