A key element of Regnum Christi’s mission is building a vocational culture, helping each person know and follow the call Christ has for them.
Every vocation – lay, married, consecrated, or priestly – springs from that personal love that God has for us and that he reveals to us in Jesus Christ; from the encounter with the Heart of Christ that calls, consoles, and sends us. “The personal experience of Christ’s love produces an interior urging in our hearts that impels us to passionate self-giving in order to make his Kingdom present.” (SRCF 10)
