OBLATE SISTERS OF
CHRIST PRIEST
Prayer, the road to God
ENGLISH
Prayer,
Oblta's life
The Oblate joins Jesus’ prayer: “I do not ask that you take them out
of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. They do not
belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate
them in the truth. Your word is truth.” (Jn 17, 15-17). The Oblates
of Christ Priest are, in earth, the interrupted prolongation of the
priestly prayer “not only for them, but also for those who will
believe in me through their word… so that they may all be one”. (Jn
17, 19-21).
And while the Oblata sleeps, her sleep will continue to be a prayer
“pro eis” and for the whole Church, which incessant goes up to
Heaven.
VENI, SANCTE SPÍRITUS
Gregorian Chant
Veni, Sancte Spíritus,
et emítte cælitus
lucis tuæ rádium.
Veni, Pater páuperum,
veni, dator múnerum,
veni, lumen córdium.
Consolátor óptime,
dulcis hospes ánimæ,
dulce refrigérium.
In labóre, réquies,
in æstu tempéries,
in fletu solátium.
O lux beatíssima,
reple cordis íntima,
tuórum fidélium.
Sine tuo númine,
nihil est in hómine,
nihil est innóxium.
Lava quod est sórdidum,
riga quod est áridum,
sana quod est sáucium.
Flecte quod est rígidum,
fove quod est frígidum,
rege quod est dévium.
Da tuis fidélibus,
in te confidéntibus,
sacrum septenárium.
Da virtútis méritum,
da salútis éxitum,
da perenne gáudium.
