Horacio, you have been in Regnum Christi since 1996. How would you define this journey to this day?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regnum Christi has been a gift, a treasure that I have continued to discover since I was in ECYD. It is a charism that has allowed me to know God more every day and that has motivated and allowed me to grow in my faith and my love for the Church and the Virgin Mary.\u00a0 A charism that has shaped my life and my decisions. A journey in which I have learned that it is in giving that one receives. And, that God expects us to multiply the talents we receive. This journey has been accompanied by a large family of great friends, spiritual fathers and mothers, who have shared guidance and testimonies that have contributed to and marked my life with many blessings.<\/p>\n
