The consecrated members of Regnum Christi began in 2019 an apostolic discernment with the objective of arriving at certain apostolic orientations that would respond to the challenges facing evangelization in Argentina and Chile. Today they already have a roadmap for 2020 and 2021.
Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, together we have sought to update our response to God's call to serve evangelization in Chile and Argentina.
Its elaboration involved an analysis of the challenges faced by both countries due to their profound social changes, the difficulties of the coronavirus pandemic and the widespread crisis of confidence in the Catholic Church.
Afterwards, three commissions worked on the three apostolic priorities and the six transversal lines that emerged from this reflection.
The fruit of their work was shared territorially in October 2020. Subsequently, in February 2021, conclusive meetings were held to validate the three apostolic priorities that will illuminate and outline a horizon for personal, community and institutional apostolic activity for the coming years, a road map for 2020 and 2021.
Testimonials
Carolina Buitrago: «Participating in the process of apostolic discernment of consecrated women gave me the opportunity to put before God the challenges and problems that Chile is facing at this time and ask ourselves how we can better serve this country from our evangelizing work. I participated in one of the commissions, which enriched me a lot by studying the documents of the Church, the interviews to different people to see our work as consecrated women of Regnum Christi in this territory. I think it is very valuable that these apostolic orientations have come from the base of the people who are actively in the apostolic field and contribute from our stop in this apostolic program. The final result is a document with some orientations that have to do more with attitudes and look that give a more precise focus to the evangelizing actions that we are currently doing. We hope that this will help us to continue responding to the signs of the times in our beloved Chile and that, hand in hand with God, we can contribute a grain of sand in evangelization and the promotion of a more just and humane society».
