	Oblate (religion) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditionally, oblates are people, not professed monks, nuns, or friars, who have individually affiliated themselves in prayer with a House of their choice.
		At a later date the word "oblate" was used to describe such lay men or women as were pensioned off by royal and other patrons upon monasteries or benefices, where they lived as in an almshouse or hospital.
		Examples include the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, the Oblates of St Francis of Rome (founded 1433 in Italy), and the Benedictine Oblates of St Scholastica (founded 1944 in Italy).

	Oblate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gravity tends to contract celestial bodies into a perfect sphere, the shape where all the mass is as close to the center of gravity as possible.
		Perfect spherical shape is the shape of least gravitational potential energy, the oblate shape corresponds to a higher gravitational potential energy than that.
		As long as the proto-planet is still too oblate to be in equilibrium, gravitational potential energy is released as it contracts.

	OSB. Oblates. Introduction
		Oblates do not take on a new set of religious practices and are not required to say a certain number of prayers or engage in special devotions.
		In this way Oblates will come to recognize that in all the phases and events of their lives, in their joys and successes as well as in their sorrows and disappointments, they are in close union with Christ and participate in his very death and resurrection.
		With the Rule as their guide, Oblates adopt values that are part of the very fabric of Christian spirituality, such as, spending time daily reflecting on the Sacred Scriptures; cultivating an awareness of the presence of God in silence; devoting time to the praise of God; performing acts of mortification.

	Oblate Constitutions of St. Andrew's Abbey

		Oblates who live at a considerable distance from St. Andrew's Abbey should make a retreat when it is possible for them to do so, and should maintain regular contact with their oblate director.
		Oblates are offered the opportunity to liturgically re-proclaim their commitment to Christ by annually renewing their oblation at a public ceremony held at the Abbey.

	Stability in the World: An Oblate's Reflections
		Benedictine oblates are people who are not monks but who dedicate themselves, in communion with a particular monastic community, to the service of God and neighbor according to the Rule of St. Benedict, insofar as their state in life permits.
		Oblates and oblate directors would do well, however, to reflect on the challenge systematically and give their gift in witness to the world concretely.
		Oblate or monastic, Benedictines who practice stability may also offer signs pointing toward the healing of the earth -- and though those signs be small and local it is the nature of the case that only such signs may count.

		Similarly, the Oblate mission of evangelizing in the manner it has gradually defined itself in history and through ecclesiastical mandate is no longer conceivable without the cooperation of the laity who unite themselves to this work of evangelization in virtue of their oblation.

	Oblate Candidacy Program Outline
		It is built on the same fundamental values, however, that one would find in the monastery: a response to the call of Christ to live in the reign of God, specifically to witness to the kingdom of heaven and to the passing character of the present world.
		The Oblate is encouraged to make use of programs in those parishes having adult education programs in Scripture or by purchasing materials designed to lead into the serious understanding of God’s word.
		Silence is not so much a matter of the Oblate being alone or away from family or insisting on “everybody being quiet in the house,” as it is a matter of developing an attitude in which one is aware of God’s presence as well as God’s call to which the Oblate may respond.

		Each new Oblate received the cross of one of his deceased brothers so that he could be inspired by and further the legacy of his deceased brother.
