Benedictine Oblates of the Divine Will
Benedictine Oblates of the Divine Will (Third Order)
{Overview}
In these present times, the one thing we can depend on more and more is prayer. Praying for one another continuously to become true apostles of the Divine Will is an essential part of our mission. In this year of Mercy, Our Lord, Our Lady and Luisa brought us to this point of asking that we unite in prayer in the Most Holy Divine Will. Through the Grace of God, after much prayer, Father Elijah Joseph (Benedictine Monks of Divine Will – 1st Order) and Mother Gabrielle Marie (Benedictine Daughters of Divine Will – 2nd Order) with permission from their Bishop, Msgr. Andrea Turazzi, have established the 3rd Order Benedictine Oblates of the Divine Will (BDV- Benedictine Oblatorum Divinae Voluntatis).
The purpose for the 3rd Order of Benedictine Oblates of the Divine Will is to live the life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph of Nazareth, as described in the writings of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta.
The main thing that an oblate needs is a fervent desire and commitment to live in God’s Most Holy and Divine Will on earth as it is in heaven. To this end they should live a faithful Catholic life in loving obedience to Holy Mother Church. This would include:
- Mass on Sunday and Holy Days of Obligation (daily Mass when possible)
- Regular confession (monthly when possible)
- Faithful and loving obedience to Holy Mother Church in all matters of faith and morals
- Prayerful study of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Sacred Scripture
- Respect and filial submission to the Pope, Bishops, and Pastors
Additionally, they should:
- Read the Divine Will writings of the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta for at least one half-hour a day (exceptions to this should be made only when absolutely necessary)
- Pray the Rosary daily
- Participate in Eucharistic Adoration whenever possible
- Cultivate a fervent devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph as well as to St. Benedict, St. Scholastica, St. Annibale di Francia, and the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta
- BE LITTLE!
