Obedience


As oblates, obedience is one of our precepts or vows along with stability and conversion.
It is very important in time of crisis that obedience is either gently or strongly enforced, and in daily life, in every kind of society, it is necessary that enforcement or punishment is in accord with the degree of the offense. All civilised societies recognise that people are sinful at times and this has to be dealt with.

“The essential message of Christianity is that God is present in the depths of each human being. That is why we must learn humility.
