It is significant that De La Salle wrote this meditation, during the time when the Pope’s authority was being seriously challenged, over the issue of Jansenism, especially in France. The firm support of the Pope, illustrated by this meditation, is one of the chief characteristics of De La Salle’s teaching to the Brothers, and through them, to the students in the Christian Schools.
