CLM Nature:
The Ends and The Means
1. The Christian Life Movement is an "International
Private Association of the Faithful" by Pontifical
Right. It's members are clergy, people in newly consecrated
forms and the laity in general. Men and women, singly
or organized in communities, or other forms of association
are part of the Christian Life Movement. They all
have the aim of living and developing Christian life
in their lives, the society, the world, coordinating
contributions from one another, according to the charisma,
the style and spirituality of the Christian Life Movement,
and according to the scope of its Statutes and the
usual norms of Canon Law.
2. The Christian Life Movement aims to be a space
in the society for meeting with the Lord Jesus, which
can facilitate an authentic, committed Christian life.
A life that projects itself through the testimonial
guidance of Mary, the announcement of the Faith and
the promotion of human dignity in the light of the
Gospel and the teachings of the Church. Its identity
is stamped by its vocation to the apostolate, center
of its life and projection.
3. All the means used by the Christian Life Movement
to reach its goals answer to its evangelical spirit
and fidelity to the Church.
Among them, we should especially mention:
a.
Fidelity to the consecration and promises of Baptism
and Confirmation, through which God made
us His children, marking the beginning of our concrete
path towards our own sanctification, apostolate
and service.
b.
Active participation in the Sacred Liturgy, as celebration
of the Faith and the living community of the People
of God in their pilgrimage, especially in the Eucharist
and in the sacrament of Reconciliation.
c.
Identification with the Lord Jesus, Son of Mary,
Who "fully reveals man to himself and reveals
to Him the sublimity of his vocation." [continue]
