Subject(s): Summary: Considered the best general biography of De La Salle in English. This work incorporates the gamut of modern research to provide background and illumination on the life and charism of De La Salle. It describes his increasing involvement in a process whose outcome he never envisioned, and sheds new light on the enduring elements of the Lasallian charism--reliance upon Divine Providence, the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, a spirituality grounded in the apostolate, a practical effort to help the poor improve their lot, innovative concepts in school organization, and the ministry of the laity in the Church. The title comes from the prayer often said by the saint, "O Lord, the work is yours."
