Regnum Christi invites our entire spiritual family and all our friends to join us in praying especially for our brothers and sisters living the consecrated vocations of Legionary priests, Consecrated Women, and Lay Consecrated Men in our territory.
Each week throughout the year, we will pray together for a different group of Legionaries and Consecrated, spanning all the communities across the territory, as our “Priests and Consecrated of the Week.”
Our Consecrated members are men and women who have said yes to Christ’s call to follow him, leaving everything behind to dedicate their entire lives to him and to join him in the mission of building his Kingdom. We come together to support them with our prayer, asking our Lord to strengthen them, hold them close to his Sacred Heart, and give them his deep joy as they live their mission each day.

During her sophomore year of high school, when praying about which college to go to, Anne felt God invite her to discern what to do with her life. By the end of her senior year of high school, Anne had discerned that she was called to be a Bride of Christ and was consecrated in 2005. Anne has served in secretary work and in youth and adult ministry in Connecticut, New Jersey, at Immaculate Conception Academy and Overbrook Academy in Rhode Island, in Florida, at The Highlands School in Dallas, Texas, and in the Territorial Secretariate in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, having also made trips to serve in other states as well as in Nicaragua, Guatemala and Canada. Anne currently lives and serves in Dallas, Texas, with a passion for helping people to grow in their relationship with Our Lord, in vocational discernment and in living life to the full via retreats, spiritual and formative events and spiritual direction.

Prayer for Priests and Consecrated Members in Regnum Christi
God our Father,
We thank you for our spiritual family of Regnum Christi, and for those within it that you have called to total consecration as Legionaries of Christ, Consecrated Women, and Lay Consecrated Men.
We ask you to renew their encounter with your Son Jesus Christ,
who goes out to meet them and reveals the love of his heart to them.
Deepen their personal love for Christ
and their trust in his love for them.
Gather them close to him,
form them,
and send them out accompanied by your Son,
in the mission of forming apostles and Christian leaders who make your Kingdom present in hearts, in families, and in society.
Send your Holy Spirit to sanctify and strengthen them,
And to help them respond generously and courageously to their mission each day.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
