Final Vows on the way

PictureLord Jesus take me, I am all yours. Br Sayyane ready for the perpetual oblation
This morning our morning prayer was particularly joyous as we received great news from Our Superior General in Rome that Br Sayyane has been accepted to the perpetual religious profession, which is called an oblation in our Congregation. It is the completion of the long discernment Br Sayyane has undergone. For many years as he has been studying Philosophy and Theology and acquiring pastoral qualifications for his future missionary ministry at the same time he has been also reflecting on the call to give his life totally to the Lord Jesus and his Holy Church in the Congregation of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Over those years the Oblate Congregation on its part has also discerned Brother’s vocation. The final conclusion of such mutual discernment has been expressed in Brother’s request to be allowed to make his final vows as an Oblate of Mary Immaculate and in the Oblate Congregation assuring Brother Sayyane that in his desire to be one of us we recognize our common Oblate spirit. Br Sayyane will make his final vows on November 22, at Our Lady’s Parish where he has been assisting over last year.

I do believe that he has made the right decision. This morning when I passed the news from Fr General onto him he looked as if he had won Lotto. There was so much joy and peace in his eyes. I am not surprised, giving one’s life to Jesus is the best investment a person can make. Please pray for Br Sayyane as he is approaching that powerful moment in his life when he makes his oblation for life, taking vows for chastity, obedience, poverty and perseverance until death. I always find it heartening when people make such a commitment and they make it with joy.
