“The Regnum Christi Movement has changed my life. It is
still changing it and will continue to change it in
the future, because each day presents itself as an opportunity
to learn and draw closer to the way of holiness.
There are many obstacles, but we have to remember that
if we are with God and we do everything for
him, then we should not be afraid.” (Juan Camilo Betancourt,
Columbia)
“When I met the Movement, I had a
deep experience of God. I understood that I was had
reached and was reaching the goals that most people set
for themselves, but at the same time, I realized that
this wasn’t enough, that I should do something more, and
that an even greater goal was needed to fill my
soul. In that momento, I had no doubts that when
I finished college I would give some years of my
life to carry out apostolic work as a Regnum Christi
co-worker.” (Maria Jose Iturralde, Mexico)
“My decision to join
the Movement was deeply rooted in my faith and in
my own personal search for Christ. In the Regnum Christi
activities, I found the way to live out my Catholic
faith in an active way, to commit myself in activities
aimed at helping others, to respond to Christ’s call to
holiness, and to spend my talents in a constructive way.”
(Fam. Manetti, Italy)
“I got incorporated into Regnum Christi
in 1986 after having attended rock and leadership conferences, and
after doing some apostolic work with orphaned children. From then
on, I was able to see more clearly the meaning
of my life in all areas: my family, my studies,
my faith, my friends, and I was better able to
arrange my life so that each thing was given its
proper place.” (Alejandro Pinelo, Regnum Christi consecrated man)
“When
I was 16, I went through a very strong experience
in my school. One of my classmates died of a
drug overdose. When she died, I began to question many
things: What is life? Why do we die? Why is
there evil? Why is there pain and suffering?” I realized
that life is given to us as a gift, as
a magnificent and mysterious gift, and that the primordial task
of each person is to discover the meaning of his
life. I could continue going to parties, having fun with
my friends, going to the beach or skiing, yet still
remain unsatisfied because I did not know the meaning of
my life. I had to put myself in the attitude
of a seeker. It became indispensable for me to discover
the values that would make my life worth living.” (Elena
de Borbón, Regnum Christi consecrated woman)
