Regnum Christi has a Christ-centered spirituality that is lived together in communion with all members, in union with the whole Church, and through a mission to build the kingdom of Christ.
Regnum Christi’s mission is to reveal Christ’s love to people, form them as apostles, and launch them in their God-given mission.
Regnum Christi members fulfill their mission through missions, retreats, youth work, schools and universities, small groups, personal accompaniment, parishes, online and radio evangelization and other evangelization work.
The personal experience of Christ’s love produces in the hearts of Regnum Christi members an interior urgency to give themselves to their mission passionately, so as to make his Kingdom present: “The love of Christ impels us” (2 Cor 5:14). This passion results in a way of living that we call Militia Christi.
