\n
Prayer for the 36th General Chapter<\/strong><\/h5>\n
God our Father,
\n<\/strong>we thank you for the gift of religious life
\n<\/strong>which you have given us through Saint Eugene de Mazenod.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
You have called us to a missionary life
\n<\/strong>in order to preach the Gospel to the most abandoned:
\n<\/strong>\u201cEvangelizare pauperibus misit me.\u00a0<\/strong>Pauperes evangelizantur.\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n
At this time of preparation for the General Chapter
\n<\/strong>in the year of the 200 anniversary of our Congregation,
\n<\/strong>we ask you for the grace of finding in your Son, Jesus Christ,
\n<\/strong>the center of our life and of our mission.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
We hear the call to a profound personal and communal conversion.
\n<\/strong>Help us to become the salt of the earth and the light of the world,
\n<\/strong>so as to proclaim to today\u2019s world the values of your Kingdom
\n<\/strong>through words and deeds.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
We beg you, Lord, to send upon us your Spirit
\n<\/strong>to help us to be your Oblates, inflamed with your love,
\n<\/strong>sparing no effort to extend your Kingdom
\n<\/strong>and totally committed to the good of today\u2019s poor.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
We ask you this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate,
\n<\/strong>our Mother, and of Saint Eugene de Mazenod.
\nAmen<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
