“What for Mary was honor to birth was also good news for a people. They could anticipate one who would save or restore. What for Mary was a personal longing, she was able to personify for the poor ones. Her personal happiness, or being blessed, was transformed into vindicating or asserting rights for a whole people. In spite of suffering and oppression, she claimed that justice will come, that injustice will be righted.”(Dorothy Yoder Nyce)<\/span><\/p>\n

We are members of the prophetic Church. While recognizing our own need for conversion, we bear witness to God\u2019s holiness and justice. We announce the liberating presence of Jesus Christ and the new world born in his resurrection. We will hear and make heard the clamour of the voiceless, which is a cry to God who brings down the mighty from their thrones and exalts the lowly (cf. Lk 1: 52).<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\u201cThe allusion to Mary\u2019s canticle is to be read in the biblical perspective of salvation. As Oblates of Mary Immaculate we love to live our vocation of missionaries to the poor according to the example of her who was fully attentive to the needs of the little ones and the poor among God\u2019s People. On January 30, 1979, in his homily at the shrine of Zapopan (Mexico), Pope John Paul II did not hesitate to quote this same passage when he was speaking of the Christian commitment to serving the poorest of the poor\u201d<\/em> (R\u00e9ponse aux Observations de la S.C.R.I.S., April 16, 1982)\u201d F.\u00a0Jett\u00e9,\u00a0The Apostolic Man, p. 103<\/h3>\n
