To offer oneself as a Benedictine Oblate - promising Stability of Heart- This promise expresses the Oblate's commitment to a particular monastic community. Stability of heart reaffirms the basic promise of conversion made at Baptism. Fidelity to the Spirit of Monastic Life - This promise expresses a commitment to live a life of spirituality, piety and balance. Obedience to the Will of God - This is a promise to grow in discernment of God's Will through prayer, spiritual direction and faithfulness to one's religious traditions. Obedience is not a series of acts grudgingly done, but the response of a willing heart in service to God. Oblate duties are: praying the Liturgy of the Hours, regularly reading the Rule of St. Benedict, practicing lectio divina, being faithful to the sacraments (or other religious practices) and cultivating a sense of God's presence in daily living. (Saint Meinrad Archabbey)
