Presentation

Msgr. José Rodríguez Carballo, O.F.M., expressed “the hope that the new structure of communion contributes to promoting and deepening the common charism and fostering collaboration in view of the mission that the Church has entrusted to you” (letter of May 31, 2019, announcing the Canonical Erection and approval of the Statutes of the Regnum Christi Federation).

With this course, we wish to offer a contribution to the study and deepening of the Regnum Christi charism, in order to best fulfill the mission entrusted to us and to be, like the whole Church, in a state of “missionary outreach” at the service of a “new evangelization” (Evangelii Gaudium by Pope Francis).

Audience

The course is open to all those who wish to deepen their understanding of Regnum Christi spirituality. For those seeking ECTS credit recognition, the course is academically situated in the second year of the Bachelor of Theology program and is also open to students in the Licentiate in Spiritual Theology program.
