To put ourselves increasingly at the service of God in his people, we will set aside special times each month and each year for deeper personal and community prayer, for reflection and renewal (Constitution 35).

Following the instructions of our Rules, we gathered as a district community for our monthly day of reflection at the pre novitiate.

This day of reflection and prayer was led by Bishop Marek Ochlak, OMI, from Madagascar, who is visiting our Province.

He shared an interesting reflection on obedience and leadership in Oblate life, but also in the context of the history of his vocation to the episcopal ministry. There was also communal adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, a meal, and the rosary. In conclusion, we can say - how good it is when the brothers meet together.
