The Director of Oblates is deeply grateful for the cooperation of many generous hands, minds, and hearts that contributed to the writing and printing of this booklet. Special thanks are due to Archabbot Douglas Nowicki, O.S.B., who generated the idea of such a publication and who gave ongoing encouragement and support. Essential to this final product, also, were the Oblates, Oblate moderators, and several other Benedictine confreres who proofread the various drafts and who made helpful suggestions regarding theology, terminology, and typographical errors. In addition, the thought-filled input of the monastery's Council of Seniors, the Archabbey Liturgy Committee, and the Monastic Formation Committee assisted in clarifying certain expressions and provisions in keeping with Canon Law and the policies of the Archabbey. Much gratitude needs also to be expressed to secretary Monika Brezinski of the college's Word Processing Center, who printed out many drafts, and to Oblate Phillip Engle of Latrobe, who put this booklet into final form on his own word processor. Most of all, full praise and honor is due to our God, who provided strength, inspiration, and cooperation among all these people to bring their prayers and efforts to a welcome conclusion.
