The Holy Father had some words of wisdom to hand on to the Fathers attending the Synod of the Family just before it opened this weekend: “Listen Humbly”.
These words echo what I have felt in my heart regarding the renewal of the first and second degree of Regnum Christi. The Legion has had their turn to reflect. The Consecrated Men and Consecrated Women have embarked on their renewal. Now it is your turn.
And I think that these words are addressed, in particular, to those of us who have already had moments for reflection. The danger right now is for us to think that because we started before the rest of the RC members, that we have a really clear idea of where the Holy Spirit is leading us.
It’s true, we have an idea, and it’s called the Regnum Christi Family. But clarity will only come when each member of the family has his and her moment to speak.
So, my exhortation to all you first and second degree members is to use your voice! And for those Legionaries and Consecrated members who will be accompanying this process, my prayer is that we listen and listen deeply.
