Oblates India

Tenui Nec Dimittam (Our Motto)

The motto for the Oblates comes from Song of Songs 3:4, “I have taken hold and will not let go.” These words express the tenacity, the strength of love. We are invited to listen as Jesus says those very same words to each of us: Tenui nec dimittam! Those words, heard, said, and believed over and over again throughout the course of our lives make us who we are truly called to be: one who loves, follows, and lives Jesus!
