Consecrated life in Regnum Christi is a new lifestyle in
response to Christ’s call to his chosen ones: “Come and
follow me.” Our spiritual life is built around the Movement’s
five great loves: Christ, the Church, the Pope, the Blessed
Virgin Mary, and souls. We live a deeply Christ-centered spirituality,
where Christ is the center, standard, and source of our
lives and our happiness. We seek an authentic love for
the Church and faithful adherence to the Holy Father, the
Vicar of Christ on earth. We have a close devotion
to Our Lady, consisting primarily in the imitation of her
virtues. Finally, we dedicate all our time and energy to
the salvation of souls.
As consecrated women, we are aware that
Regnum Christi’s call to authentic Gospel charity must be lived
out more perfectly and deeply in our own lives before
giving it to others. We live in community, which allows
us to open ourselves to be enriched by women of
other cultures, languages, backgrounds and personalities, and give witness to
the charity lived by the first Christian communities. Charity is
the interior force that shapes our promises of poverty, chastity
and obedience in service to Christ and to others.
Consecrated life
is necessary in today’s Church. As Pope John Paul II
said, “Thank you, consecrated women! Following the example of the
greatest of women, the Mother of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate
Word, you open yourselves with obedience and fidelity to the
gift of God´s love. You help the Church and all
mankind to experience a ‘spousal’ relationship to God, one which
magnificently expresses the fellowship which God wishes to establish with
his creatures” (John Paul II, Letter to Women, 2). Each
consecrated woman in Regnum Christi seeks to become “another Christ”
to the world, by knowing, loving and imitating Christ, and
communicating His personal and ardent love to humanity.
