Letter from Father Eduardo Robles-Gil, LC to the members of Regnum Christi.
Thy Kingdom Come!

To the members of Regnum Christi
Dearly esteemed in Jesus Christ:
In a few days, on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, we will begin a special time of grace to thank God for the 75 years of life as a spiritual family. I ask God that this jubilee, which I announced in my letter of March 12, be for all of us a time to grow in communion as brothers and children of the same Father, to ask the Lord of history to help us be obedient instruments, and to open our hearts to what the Holy Spirit wants to tell us.
On January 3, 1941, the first apostolic school of the Legion of Christ was founded, then as an extension of the seminary in Cuernavaca. With that seemingly insignificant act, the succession of events began through which Regnum Christi gradually took shape, to become today a living member of the body of the Church. That is where our history began. In it, we perceive the provident and mysterious love of God, on one hand, and our limits and sins, on the other. In this contrast of lights and shadows, of joys and sorrows, shines with particular splendor the mercy of our Lord, who delights in choosing the small, the insignificant of the world to carry out His plan of salvation.
