Part of saying "Yes, Bro!" to Christ is to listen, learn, and love His Word. Join us every Sunday for our Brothers' reflections, and may Christ, our Brother, be the Bread that continues to nourish us in the Lasallian Mission. (De La Salle Brothers of the Philippines)

JAPAN - Before coming to Japan as a lay person or as a Brother, I liked flowers as most people do. I lived in a culture where there were flowers in the house only for certain occasions or in churches or chapels. To have flowers meant to go to the market and buy them or the easiest way, to order them through a shop. People around me at home or in our communities didn’t grow flowers for inside decoration. In other words, to have flowers or not was the way to live ordinary life.
