Title: My Vow to St. Benedict Post by: Neopelagianus on April 30, 2015, 06:20:05 PM I have promised Saint Benedict that if my operation next week would be as painless, quick and easy, I promised him that I will be an Oblate and I am to commission a wooden image of him.
It would look like this: (Go to the gallery and see "Saint Benedict 1") But instead of being carved in the round, it will have a mannequin body so that it could be posed easily for being clothed. Also, instead of being brownish as in the picture, it shall be given a fair complexion (I would also provide a photo of the same statue above but with that complexion.

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, You patiently endured the scourging and wounding of your sacred body, that You may save the souls and bodies of your people. Look now graciously on the suffering body of Neopelagianus; give him the strength to bear patiently whatever awaits him. Bless the people and all the means which will be used to restore him to health, and grant that he may accept his bodily sufferings as a means of reparation for the salvation of his soul. For You, O Christ, Our God and Saviour, are merciful, and we, your people, thank You and glorify You, together with your Eternal Father and with Your all-Holy and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and forever. Amen. Title: Re: My Vow to St. Benedict Post by: Shin on May 01, 2015, 12:48:20 PM Amen amen!
