Renewal

“Tu fidelidad es grande, tu fidelidad incomparable es. Nadie como tu, bendito Dios. Grande es tu fidelidad.”

As we sang this song at Mass yesterday, it moved me deeply as I reflected on God´s fidelity after witnessing one of the consecrated women in my community renew her temporal vows, one Legionary brother renew his profession, and three consecrated women who work in Spain devotionally renew their vows after twenty-five years of consecrated life. It was a Mass full of a joyful Regnum Christi family, with all the branches joining in prayer. Hope in the fidelity of Christ Our King filled the little chapel as each one of us renewed our commitment to him together with those renewing their vows. The words of Christ echoed through each of our hearts during the Gospel: “Remain in me, as I remain in you. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain (Jn 15).”
