“How long has Jesus been knocking at the door of your heart, waiting to enter?” – SJBDLS, Med 85.1 – Vigil of the Nativity

The Lasallian prayer is a beautiful expression of St. John Baptist de La Salle’s faith. It reminds us to place love for God at the center of everything we do, especially in education. By asking St. John Baptist de La Salle to pray for us, we seek guidance in following his example. Ultimately, the Lasallian prayer is a call to live by Jesus’ teachings and keep His spirit alive in our hearts.

 

About the design

The Jubilee door that opens to the Congregation Hall of Santuario de La Salle features the Lasallian Prayer in 43 languages and dialects, tracing the spread of the work of St. John Baptist de La Salle all over the world. The opening and closing Lasallian Prayers were translated in the three main languages of the Institute. 

Made of mature, kiln-dried narra with crisp and sharp intricate carvings adorning the smooth surface, the Jubilee door is the gateway towards a journey of faith and deep reflection. Its clean lines and simple design give it a contemporary feel, a perfect complement to the surrounding modern architecture of the place of worship.
