OBLATION

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OBLATION , an offering (
Late
  Lat. oblatio, from offerre, oblatum, to offer), a
term
 , particularly in ecclesiastical usage, for a solemn offering or presentation to God. It is thus applied to certain parts of the Eucharistic service in the Roman Church. There are " two oblations," the " lesser oblation," generally known as the " offertory," in which the bread and wine yet unconsecrated are presented, and the " greater oblation," the " oblation " proper, forming the latter part of the
prayer
  of
consecration
 , when the "
Body
  and Blood " are ceremonially presented. The word " oblate " is an ecclesiastical
term
  for persons who have devoted themselves or have been devoted as children by their parents to a monastic life. " Oblate " is more familiar in the Roman Church as the name of a religious
congregation
  of secular priests, the Oblate Fathers of St Charles. They are placed under the absolute authority of the
bishop
  of the diocese in which they are established and can be employed by him on any duties he may think fit. This
congregation
  was founded in 1578 under the name of Oblates of the Blessed Virgin and St
Ambrose
  by St Charles
Borromeo
 , archbishop of
Milan
  (see
BORROMEO
 , CARLO). There is a similar congregation of secular priests, the Oblates of Mary the Immaculate, founded at Marseilles in 1815. '
