Final Oblation 2007
Benedictine Oblates are ordinary people: men and women, married and single, lay and ordained; Catholic and non-Catholic Christians; retired, working in the home, and working in the community. Members of the Oblate community are from Schuyler, Omaha, Lincoln, and South Dakota – even as far away as New York and Louisiana. What they have in common is a deep desire to live their roles as members of the Body of Christ in a special way – according to the principles Saint Benedict set out in his Rule.
What is an Oblate?
-
Oblates seek God by striving to become holy in their chosen way of life.
-
Oblates are Christian individuals associated with a monastic community.
-
Oblates offer their lives to God through prayer and service.
- Oblates are faithful to Mass and the Sacraments or to the prayers and practices of their own denominations, and are also encouraged to pray the Liturgy of the Hours and practice Lectio Divina (prayerful reading of the Scriptures).
What does a Benedictine Oblate do?
Benedictine Oblates live their lives according to the principles Jesus laid out in the Gospels which St. Benedict exemplified in his rule. They:
- pray daily
- reflect on Scripture
- work with dignity
- engage in re-creative recreation
Oblates practice:
- faithfulness
- obedience
- hospitality
- humility
- balance

Dear friends of Jesus:
We are the Third Order of St. Dominic, in Boise, Idaho. Our membership is growing.
Hence…
We need two or more used sets of the 4-volume Liturgy of the Hours. With our economy, we can pay for the print-matter postage only.
If you know of other Catholic institutions who might have some, please provide their particulars.
Sincerely yours in Christ, St. Benedict, and St. Dominic,

Dear Phil,
I’ve ordered 2 sets of the 4-vol Liturgy of the Hours from Barnes & Noble (Order 123219035). They will ship tomorrow, so they probably will not arrive before Christmas — but soon after.
God bless you and your membership. Have a blessed and joyful Christmas, New Year, and Epiphany.
