 WELCOME! Greetings and blessings!
Welcome to our website! I pray and hope that you can find the Oblates of the Holy Spirit a place where you can develop your spiritual potential to serve God, His Church and your fellow human beings.
The Oblates are in their third decade of existence and we continue to seek spiritual growth and our place in the life of the Church. The Oblates is a small community of believers dispersed mainly in North America. Many ask what is our spirituality? Are we Franciscans, Augustinians or Dominicans? I have done much praying and pondering of this question but I always come back to the same answer, the spirituality of the Oblates is enriched by all the traditions listed above but the Order is also a trailblazer, establishing a new spirituality to meet the needs of the men and women of the 21st Century. |

OHS Weekly Meditation - Sunday after Ascension |

 "Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, the utterances of God; whoever serves, let him do so as by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever.Amen." 1 St. Peter 4:11 NASB
Anyone who has had to open their mouth to speak publicly about their faith has likely spent some time grappling with their own human frailty and weakness, particularly those who preach or lecture. There is a rather fine line between wanting to do justice to one's public speaking and do it well to the glory of God, and polishing one's delivery style so that it becomes a narcissistic oration or demagoguery. I think I've heard most all preaching styles at some point - from pulpit pounding Bible shaking at a sweat-soaked Camp Meetin' to dry seminar lectures to folksy-lean-on-the-pulpit-chatty-monologues - and perhaps all these have their place in the grand scheme of things. |
