574 Omi Information February 2017 574/1 OMI Information No. 574 (English) February 2017 February 17: to remind us of our identity By Fr.

The Preface to the Constitutions and Rules is also very clear on this point, when Immediately after these words, Eugene underlines it says that by living them, “these priests… hope the two main ends of the Society that he is about to obtain all the benefi ts they need for their own to begin.

They are the goals that the Rule will help the members of The fi nal number in our Constitutions and Rules the Society to achieve. At some moments of our (C 168), and certainly not the least, reminds history, and even today, we may tend to forget us that, through our oblation, each Oblate the second of these two “chief” aims. We are “…assumes responsibility for the common a missionary Congregation, as it is beautifully heritage of the Congregation, expressed in stated in Constitution 5.

But our Society has two “chief” aims, not just one, A reference to our Rules, even if in a more and I think these two goals go together, both in spiritual way, was made by Pope Francis when our lives and in our mission. That is why the text he met the members of the 36th General Chapter continues: “… its chief aim also includes providing on October 7 last year. Among other things, he its members with the means necessary to practice said: “Following the example of the Founder, 574/2 February 2017 may charity among you be your fi rst rule of help us not to forget that our religious family life, the premise of every apostolic action; and has two main goals that we must always keep may zeal for the salvation of souls be a natural united, because they are strictly interconnected consequence of this fraternal charity.” and interdependent.

  • One Month with the Blessed Martyrs of Laos
    ONE MONTH WITH THE BLESSED MARTYRS OF LAOS Authentic Texts for Meditation and Prayer Selected by Roland Jacques OMI Translated by James Allen OMI Jaffna, Sri Lanka, September 2016 Our Newly Beatified: The Martyrs of Laos Laos presents to Christianity its “Witnesses of the Faith in the 20th century,” 17 men who died as martyrs between 1954 and 1970: a young Laotian priest, 5 priests of the Foreign Missions of Paris, 6 Oblates of Mary Immaculate – an Italian and 5 French, 5 Laotian laymen. Having been beatified in Vientiane on 11 December 2016, they will be celebrated in 2017: at Notre Dame of Paris on 5 February; in Trent (Italy) on 30 April; and at Belleville (Our Lady of the Snows Shrine, United States) on 17-18 June. As in times past at Rome or Lyon, the Church was born in Laos from the blood of mar- tyrs. In 2000, St. John Paul II called on Christians to honor the Witnesses of Faith in the 20th century. Responding to this call, Laos presented to the judgment of Rome 17 men, Laotians and European missionaries. The story of their life and their death takes us into the turmoil of World History which, after the Second World War, saw nations of East and Southeast Asia fall into the hands of atheistic communism. These men heroically remained at their posts, faithful to the end to Jesus Christ, to Roman directives and to the ordinary people of God entrusted to their care. Between 1954 and 1970, they were killed “out of hatred for the faith.” Joseph Tiên, the first martyr, had been a priest for 4 years.

  • Opening the Fifth Seal: Catholic Martyrs and Forces of Religious Competition
    Opening the fifth seal: Catholic martyrs and forces of religious competition Robert J. Barro Harvard University, American Enterprise Institute Rachel M. McCleary Harvard University, American Enterprise Institute AEI Economics Working Paper 2020-01 March 2020 © 2020 by Rachel M. McCleary and Robert J. Barro. All rights reserved. The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) educational organization and does not take institutional positions on any issues. The views expressed here are those of the author(s). Opening the Fifth Seal Catholic Martyrs and Forces of Religious Competition Rachel M. McCleary and Robert J. Barro Jorge Mario Bergoglio, since becoming Pope Francis in March 2013, is focusing on martyrdom in the Roman Catholic Church. Two months into his pontificate, Francis canonized the 813 martyrs of Otranto, the largest such group in recorded Catholic Church history. Five months later, Francis beatified another large group, 499 martyrs of the Spanish Civil War. Francis continues to emphasize martyrs over confessors, the name given to blessed persons who died of natural causes. In 2019, Francis beatified 39 martyrs and only 6 confessors. As a snapshot of what is happening, within the last four years, 14 persons who died in Guatemala have qualified as blessed martyrs; six were foreign missionaries who served in Guatemala and eight were national lay persons, including one child.1 The missionaries were Oklahoma priest Stanley Rother, the first U.S. born martyr beatified by the Catholic Church, three Missionaries of the Sacred Heart priests, a priest of the Order of Friars Minor, and James Miller, of the De La Salle Brothers of the Christian Schools and the last Vatican beatification for 2019.

  • The Oblate Novena for Vocations
    THE OBLATE NOVENA FOR VOCATIONS (Traditional Prayed between 21st May – 29th May) Day 1 – The Call John 1:38-39 Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” Oblate Constitutions & Rules: “The Oblates are a Missionary Congregation. They are set apart for the Gospel, ready to leave everything to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Their principal service in the Church is to proclaim Christ and his Kingdom to the most abandoned. The mission of the Oblates is especially to those people whose condition cries out for salvation and for the hope, which only Jesus Christ can fully bring. These are the poor with their many faces - they have our preference.” Prayer Holy Father, We come to you because Jesus asked us to pray that you send workers into your harvest. Therefore, send us generous young men, passionate for Jesus, willing to make their whole life a total oblation to you. Send us generous members of the De Mazenod Family, who alongside the Oblates, become close to the poorest and most abandoned, and proclaim the Gospel. May they burn with the same fire that you enkindled in St Eugene; may they come to be part of his family and, with all the Oblates, may they continue the work of Redemption. Mary Immaculate, who first gave Jesus to the world, be with us as we pray. Amen. Our Father... Hail Mary... Saint Eugene de Mazenod, pray for us Blessed Joseph Gerard, pray for us Blessed Joseph Cebula, pray for us Blessed Oblate Martyrs of Spain, pray for us Blessed Oblate Martyrs of Laos, pray for us Praised be Jesus Christ and Mary Immaculate! Day 2 – The Sending Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus said “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
