Fr. Paul Colloton, OSFS, on the Preparation of the Day

". . . As Oblates, we are asked to begin each morning with the Preparation of the Day. . . .

"Whether a day is filled with events that are big or small, with affirmations or challenges, making the Preparation of the Day a part of our daily practice can make a big difference. Why? Because then we can trust that the Holy Spirit will give us counsel and help us to love by doing good. Even when we encounter someone who, as my Aunt Sophie would say, 'done me dirty,' we can love and do good, or at least, not do evil. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Paul Colloton, OSFS (Superior, De Sales Centre Oblate Residence, Childs, MD), reflected on the importance of the Preparation of the Day for providing the "guidance we need to live through anything that comes our way."
