Peter said to him,
\n\u201cMaster, why can I not follow you now?
\nI will lay down my life for you.\u201d
\nJesus answered, \u201cWill you lay down your life for me?
\nAmen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.\u201d

EUGENE’S DISCIPLESHIP:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have entirely got over an illness that brought me to death\u2019s door and from which I recovered only through the countless and very fervent prayers that were made for me to the good God in every quarter of the town\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

It was at the barracks where some 2000 Austrian prisoners were held that I contracted what they call jail fever. On the morning of St. Joseph\u2019s feast day I was close to the end\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

OBLATE CHARISMATIC FAMILY’S DISCIPLESHIP<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The OMI Rule of Life, Constitution 2, speaks of Oblate “men” – but I believe that this invitation touches everyone. Parents “leave everything” for the good of their children. medics “leave everything” to serve the sick, first responders “leave everything” to save lives etc – there are many ways of being disciples of Jesus.<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe are men \u201cset apart for the Gospel\u201d (Rom 1: 1), men ready to leave everything to be disciples of Jesus. The desire to co-operate with him draws us to know him more deeply, to identify with him, to let him live in us.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
