Going from Gospel to life, and life to the Gospel.
TRANSITUS – OBLATES OF THE LAST MARTYRDOM is an integrated association of faithful Catholics, new monastics, ordinary radicals, and emergents seeking a life of prayer, study, and work (Ora, Lectio et Labora) in a manner suitable for the laity. Transitus exists to provide followers of Jesus Christ a school of Christian perfection, thus adapting the Gospel ideal commonly associated with monasticism to their life in the world.THE RULE of the Transitus Oblates of the Last Martyrdom is to observe the holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ by following the example of the Saints, who made Christ the inspiration and model of their life with God and people. Jesus, the gift of the Father's love, is the way to Him, the truth into which the Holy Ghost leads us, and the life which He has come to give us abundantly.
Oblates, each according to their ability, circumstance, and measure of grace, pursue union with God through the perfection of charity, in the spirit of the evangelical counsels (poverty, chastity, and obedience), under the guidance of a monastic Rule and spiritual directorship, in solidarity with their fellow oblates, and in service to others--going from Gospel to life, and life to the Gospel.
The GOSPEL is our primary rule, JESUS is our primary example,
and CHARITY is our primary vocation and law.
"We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart,and to bring home those who have lost their way." – St. Francis of Assisi
