How do I become an Oblate of Mary Immaculate?
OUR CALL · Christ invites us to follow Him and to share in His mission through word and work. · We co-operate with the Savior and imitate His example, committing ourselves principally to evangelizing the poor. TO LIVE Christ Jesus · We are ready to leave everything to be disciples of Jesus. · Our desire to co-operate with Him draws us to know Him more deeply, to identify with Him and to let Him live in us. · We give ourselves to the Father in obedience even unto death and dedicate ourselves to God’s people in unselfish love. In Apostolic community · We strive to be the Lord’s companions and His messengers. To live Christ Jesus crucified · The cross of the Lord is central to our mission- through the eyes of our crucified Saviour we see the world. Among the most abandoned · Our principal mission is to proclaim Christ to the most abandoned. · Our mission is to those whose condition cries out for hope. These are the poor with their many faces; we give them our preference. In the Church · We work in unity and brotherhood with others who work for the Gospel. Proclaiming the Word · We spare no effort to proclaim the Word of God, and feel a responsibility to evangelize. With daring, humility and trust · We are close to the people whom we serve and take into account their values and aspirations. As prophets of the new world · We bear witness to God’s holiness and justice and announce the liberating presence of Jesus Christ born in his resurrection. With Mary Immaculate · We shall always look to Mary Immaculate, the patroness of our Congregation, as our mother. · We always strive to instil genuine devotion to Mary Immaculate. |
