Meet Christ
Your experience of Regnum Christi starts with getting to know Jesus Christ and through him, getting to know who you are and what he has planned for you. You can ask someone to teach you how to pray, how to get to know Jesus Christ better, to recognize his voice, and to deepen your relationship with him. Spiritual Exercises Retreats and Spiritual Direction are a great way to get started.

Walk the path of discernment with someone who is living the call and know you will be welcomed into a warm community of people who are looking forward to meeting you.
Step 2: Experience!
Your experience of Regnum Christi starts with getting to know Jesus Christ and through him, getting to know who you are and what he has planned for you. It may be something immense – it may be something small by the world’s standards. But it will be important and will help to evangelize the world.
In addition to getting involved with the mission of evangelization in the Church, Regnum Christi members make a commitment to Christ to grow in our spiritual lives and strive for holiness 24/7. Step by step, we gradually take on a life of prayer.
A Regnum Christi member’s prayer life includes praying morning prayers as we offer our day to God, reading and praying with the Gospel during the day, praying one or more decades of the rosary, and making an examination of conscience with our night prayers in the evening. Regnum Christi members also attend weekly prayer meetings called ‘The Encounter with Christ’, a half-day retreat monthly, and three-day spiritual exercises annually. The goal is to live in the presence of God, praying at all times as St. Paul taught us. Talk to a Regnum Christi member about their prayer life and try living it yourself. See where God takes you!
Your journey may begin by exploring the many resources in the Regnum Christi Spirituality Center. Perhaps a retreat for a day or weekend can get you started – or a mission trip to experience the joy of helping others in real need.
Step 3: Commit!
After a time of discernment in which you prayerfully explore if God is calling you to live your life in the spirituality, community, and mission of Regnum Christi, you are welcome to make a formal commitment and become a member. This is done by writing a letter to the director of the local Regnum Christi group in your area, and joining one of the local Regnum Christi teams (a group of Regnum Christi members who meet to pray and work in evangelization together and support each other in their day to day Christian life).
A Regnum Christi member’s life is an adventure and a mission. It means following the Crucified Christ with love, and being a part of something bigger than yourself. It’s allowing God to touch the world through you and finding yourself changed in the process. It’s loving the Church and living the Joy of the Gospel.
