The Charism of Regnum Christi

The charism of Regnum Christi is a gift that God gives to the Church. It is a supernatural reality that cannot be fully explained in a definition, but we can reflect on it in order to understand it more deeply.

A charism is something alive, something that is incarnated in the people who receive it, and that unfolds in a lifestyle and a way of living a mission.

The Charism of Regnum Christi: What does Christ call us to live?

“He calls me to make his Kingdom present in the hearts of people and in society, making present the mystery of Christ, the Apostle of the Kingdom. This mystery is Jesus Christ himself who goes out to meet people, reveals the love of his heart, gathers them together, forms them as apostles and Christian leaders, and then sends and accompanies them to collaborate with him in evangelization. ”

The charism of Regnum Christi and its identity according to the Statutes has been approved by the Holy See.
