THY KINGDOM COME!
The Legionaries of Christ are a Roman Catholic religious congregation of priests and seminarians who go out as missionaries in today's world. With great charity, joy, and zeal, they invite people into the adventure of living for Christ and transforming the culture around them. Each year they impact thousands of lives through youth work, education, parishes, missions, the sacraments, and spiritual direction.
Legionaries of Christ live in communities making vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Formation of a Legionary of Christ is a deep and transformative process that spans an average of 12 years, leading up to his priestly ordination. He is formed to be both contemplative and apostolic. In their mission of forming apostles, Christian leaders at the service of the Church, over 1,500 Legionaries of Christ throughout the world make present the mystery of Christ gathering the Apostles around him, revealing to them the love of his heart, forming them and sending them out to collaborate with him in building up his Kingdom.
(see Mark 3:13-14; Matthew 10:5-10; 28:18-20; CLC 4)
The Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi are an approved Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right founded in 1969. Having personally experienced Christ’s love in their hearts, they respond to His call through total consecration to Him by professing private vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Their fraternal life is rooted in, and aspires to reflect the love of the Holy Trinity, and they live out their spirituality and mission in vibrant international communities. Their lay consecration means they seek to be “in the world but not of the world.” They dedicate themselves entirely to evangelization, accompanying and forming others to become apostles of Christ’s Kingdom, according to the Regnum Christi charism. They are an approved Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right founded in 1969 and we just celebrated 50 years since the first women made their vows as Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi.
