That sense of continuity would become increasingly important throughout the duration of his two-and-a-half year term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to Father Brett, the primary function of his role as RC Director was to facilitate \u201ccommunication, collaboration, and communion on the local level in fulfillment of Regnum Christi\u2019s mission to reveal Christ\u2019s love, gather and form apostles, and send and accompany them in mission.\u201d For him, in Chicago, this meant such responsibilities as chairing the Regnum Christi local committee, coordinating the execution of the locality\u2019s evangelization plan, keeping in touch with heads of major local apostolates and institutions, and serving as a contact between the Regnum Christi territorial government and the locality. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But the primary role of the local RC Director is a role of relationship. \u201cMost of the RC Director\u2019s influence is through trust and moral authority,\u201d says Father Brett, \u201cwhich implies that the majority of his time should be spent on developing strong relationships.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is this aspect of relationship building that Father Brett enjoyed most about his tenure as RC Director in Chicago. \u201cThe RC Director is in a privileged position to get to know everyone in his locality, whether they be involved in ECYD, Lumen, a school, running retreats, or working in fundraising and development,\u201d says Father Brett. \u201cYou can have immediate contact with Regnum Christi life from the basic level of an Encounter with Christ, all the way up to a national event like a Formator\u2019s Convention. It\u2019s a perfect position if you like to see how the activities on the ground connect all the way up with the big picture.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That big picture perspective became particularly important part way through Father Brett\u2019s term as RC Director.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On May 31, 2019, after a decades-long process of discernment, reform, and renewal between Regnum Christi members and the Holy See, the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life canonically established the Regnum Christi Federation, and approved its statutes. This canonical form of federation is new to Regnum Christi, as are the revised statutes that go along with this new organizational form, and it was helping the RC members within his locality to adapt to this \u201cnewness\u201d that became the latest focus of Father Brett\u2019s directive role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe role of the RC Director has evolved since the establishment of the Federation,\u201d says Father Brett, who was asked to help give some perspective to his own RC members in Chicago, as well and other RC Directors throughout North America, on what these new canonical changes might look like. What people really need to know is the why,\u201d says Father Brett. \u201cWhy does the Federation help us to better live our spiritual identity? How does it allow us to better be an apostolic body, \u2026 a living family, a living spiritual organism of the church?\u201d It was important to communicate to his RC members that the new Regnum Christi Statutes are \u201cnot just a series of rules and regulations, not just a corporate or legal structure, but really something alive, a gift of the Holy Spirit to the whole Church.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Father Brett had to grapple with what the most recent changes to Regnum Christi meant to his own spiritual identity and vocation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI remember the day of my profession in Cheshire. I took my first vows, after two years in the Novitiate, professed poverty, chastity, and obedience, in accord with the Constitutions to the Legionaries of Christ. But then, those constitutions have changed; we have new additional constitutions for 2014, and those weren\u2019t the ones that I professed to originally. Did they change my vocation? Did they change the meaning of my life? Did they change who I was? Did my identity just get taken away from me, involuntarily? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The answer is no, of course not. Because I didn\u2019t give my life to a contract. I didn\u2019t give my life to a piece of paper. I gave my life to Christ, and I give my life to Christ\u2019s Kingdom. Christ hasn\u2019t gone anywhere \u2013 He\u2019s still with us, even to this day. And Christ\u2019s Kingdom very much needs us more than ever in these difficult times of the Church. That\u2019s the foundation, that\u2019s what\u2019s constant. Christ yesterday, Christ today, Christ forever.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is the message that Father Brett implanted in the Regnum Christi members of Chicago as he accompanied them through the recent process of renewal: Christ is constant. \u201cChrist\u2019s love is at the heart of it, and that has not changed,\u201d says Father Brett. \u201cWe\u2019re still Christ-centered, and Christ\u2019s love is still at the heart of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The spiritual image that was Father Brett\u2019s inspiration as he helped his RC members to make sense of the new changes in Regnum Christi\u2019s statutes and canonical form comes from the Book of Jeremiah: \u201cLike clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in My hand.\u201d For Father Brett, this scriptural image was key as he journeyed with his RC members through the renewal process. \u201cIt\u2019s important to realize that there is a process here, there is a change that\u2019s happening, there is a molding going on,\u201d says Father Brett. \u201cThe Regnum Christi Federation is an expression of God\u2019s plan. This is something unfolding before my eyes, like that block of clay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And to Father Brett, that process of allowing oneself to be molded by God like clay by the potter means not only accepting change, but also not being afraid of it, since even in the change, God remains the constant. \u201cWe want to see that there\u2019s continuity, just as the block of clay has been molded in God\u2019s hands, so we\u2019ve been molded in God\u2019s hands over time, \u201c says Father Brett. \u201cWe don\u2019t need to be afraid of this change, because God is the one who is molding us.\u201d Father Brett reminded his RC members that while they contemplate how God is molding the clay and where He is leading Regnum Christi into the future, they should, at the same time, remember and ponder the mystery of God\u2019s steadfastness through it all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For Father Brett, this faith in the trustworthiness and steadfastness of God is key to helping RC members making sense of change; it\u2019s not clarity of rules and methods that leads to faith, but faith \u2013 in God, in one\u2019s Christian identity, and in the mission \u2013 the gives rise to clarity. And with this faith-driven clarity, says Father Brett, his members were able to move forward in this new phase of Regnum Christi\u2019s history with renewed confidence and enthusiasm. \u201cWe\u2019re still seeking to make present the Kingdom of Christ. That has not changed. That is who we are. We have to trust that it\u2019s God who\u2019s leading us through these changes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Certainly, it with this attitude of trust in God that Father Brett adjusts to and embraces his newest role: in April of 2020, he moved to Cumming, GA, and became the territorial secretary for the Legionaries of Christ in the North American Territory, where he will be assisting new Legionary territorial director, Father Shawn Aaron.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Father Brett Taira, LC, began his role as Regnum Christi Director of the Chicago locality in May of 2017, he was bringing a much-needed sense of consistency and constancy.
