Oblate Prayer
Raise up, O Lord, in your Church,
the Spirit with which our holy Father, the Abbot Benedict was animated:
that filled with the same, we may strive to love what he loved, and to practice what he taught.
Grant us, we beseech you, O Lord, persevering submission to your holy will;
that in our days the people dedicated to your service may increase both in merit and in number.
Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
