Oblates
|
|
Oblates are encouraged to draw life from the following practices:
The Divine Office - Liturgy of the Hours
Growing out of the desire to pray without ceasing and to have the love for God always flowing from our hearts, Benedictine oblates pray some form of the Divine Office (also known as the Liturgy of the Hours, or Opus Dei — "Work of God") when they visit a monastery, at their home, or in a Benedictine gathering with other people.
Divine Reading - Lectio Divina
Lectio Divina (Latin for divine reading) is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation. It is intended to promote personal communion with God, knowledge of God's Word, and spiritual transformation. It does not treat Scripture as texts to be studied, but as the Living Word of God.
