EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the profound dedication of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle (1651-1719), a French churchman, educator, and benefactor, to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The print, dated from the 17th century, depicts De La Salle in deep contemplation as he pens a rule for his newly founded religious order, the Frères Chretiens (Christian Brothers). The Frères Chretiens, established in 1680, were dedicated to providing education to underprivileged children, making it one of the earliest and most influential educational institutions in Europe. De La Salle's commitment to education was rooted in his devotion to Mary, whom he considered his spiritual mother and guide. In the print, he is shown with a book in one hand and a rosary in the other, symbolizing his dual roles as a scholar and a man of faith. The serene expression on his face reflects his unwavering dedication to his mission, which would go on to have a profound impact on the world. The image is a poignant reminder of the power of faith and the importance of education in shaping the future. De La Salle's legacy continues to inspire generations of educators and students, and his rule, which emphasized the importance of practical learning and the development of the whole child, remains a guiding principle for many educational institutions today.
