New Ways of <\/span>Vocational Accompaniment<\/span> for\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>Legionaries of Christ<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

In recent years in Europe, the Legionaries of Christ have had three novitiates: Germany, Italy, and Spain<\/span>, but\u00a0<\/span>since Fall 2021, the three centers will unify into one, with Madrid as its headquarters. <\/span>Additionally<\/span>, <\/span>implementing <\/span>new formation criteria<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>the Congregation<\/span>\u00a0is opening itself to new forms of accompaniment, such as postulancy,<\/span>\u00a0a period of discernment lasting several months that will precede the novitiate.<\/span> To address these changes, we have spoken with several responsible persons for priestly and religious formation of the legionaries, such as Father Gerardo <\/span>Flores<\/span>, LC, responsible for Vocational Centers and Novitiates in the general government, Father Konstantin Ballestrem, LC, until <\/span>now\u00a0<\/span>a novitiate trainer in Germany, Father Sylvester Heereman, LC, responsible for vocational promotion in Germany, and Father Nikolaus <\/span>Klemeyer<\/span>, LC, upcoming <\/span>novitiate instructor in Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Proximity to the Regnum Christi family and its apostolates<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Father Gerardo\u00a0<\/span>explains that this decision<\/span>\u00a0to unify the three European novitiates<\/span>\u00a0aims \u201cto offer young men requesting admission to the novitiate a larger community that contributes to the formative environment needed in this first and crucial stage of formation\u201d.\u00a0<\/span>Furthermore<\/span>, \u201cit will give us the possibility to offer them the accompaniment of a trained team of formators, in a novitiate that, due to its proximity to Madrid, can give them the experience of the entire Regnum Christi family\u201d, since in this locality there are groups of young people and adults, as well as <\/span>various<\/span>\u00a0apostolic works<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>schools, and a university.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fostering an environment of\u00a0universalism in the novitiate<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>new\u00a0<\/span>novitiate instructor in Madrid will be\u00a0<\/span>Father Nikolaus\u00a0<\/span>Klemeyer, LC<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Throughout his priestly ministry, he has experienced a wide variety of apostolic and cultural experiences, including several years\u00a0<\/span>in the novitiate in Germany<\/span>\u00a0and in Spain<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>as well as\u00a0<\/span>work with\u00a0<\/span>university students in Mexico<\/span>. Based on his experience, he hopes to \u201c<\/span>ignite in these young men the desire to find happiness and fulfillment in the beauty of the legionary vocation\u201d<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0For him,\u00a0<\/span>the unification of the three novitiates points to \u201c<\/span>renewal and evangelization in Europe, a continent proclaimed by Saint John Paul II as a land of mission, distinguished by its ecclesiastical sense and openness to the diversity of cultures within the Catholic Church\u201d<\/span>\u201d<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0<\/span>this globalized society<\/span>, \u201cl<\/span>os young people feel more and more part of the whole world than of a specific country. Bringing this environment of Catholicity to the novitiate, something that is an essential part of the vocation to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Regnum Christi<\/span><\/span> y de la Legi\u00f3n, creo que puede ser una gran aportaci\u00f3n a la formaci\u00f3n y tambi\u00e9n a la promoci\u00f3n vocacional<\/span>\u201d<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And in this context,\u00a0Father Nikolaus<\/span>\u00a0points out that \u201cI have been positively surprised in Mexico by the enthusiasm that\u00a0<\/span>young people have for not settling for complaints about the world and its constant changes\u201d<\/span>.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0And specifically, he highlights that \u201cthere is a desire to engage in dialogue to offer a path of authentic happiness and deep fulfillment in life. A religious and priestly vocation, in a sense, begins with God’s invitation, channeling this desire into a concrete path. The attraction to a life dedicated to God \u2018radically\u2019 and in community remains very present among young people, who want to dedicate themselves to bringing Christ\u2019s message to the world\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Changes in the formation process of the Legionaries of Christ<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This unification of the novitiates is not the only novelty.<\/span>\u00a0Soon, a period called postulancy<\/em> will be implemented, lasting about nine months.<\/span><\/span> Father Konstantin Ballestrem, LC, who has been a novitiate trainer in Germany for 11 years, refers to this and shares that \u201cthe reason is learned from experience and the passage of time: \u201cIn the 25 years since my own formation, many things have changed, even in the culture of our society that shapes young people. For example, young people take longer to consider whether they really want to join a congregation, whether they want to be bound forever by the three evangelical counsels, or whether they can remain faithful. That point has come up again and again.\u201d Additionally, current young people have \u201careas in the psyche and heart that have not yet matured or healed.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, within the congregation, \u201cwe have changed a lot in priestly formation in recent years.\u201d Father Konstantin specifies that \u201cabove all, it has become more personal. Their methods have been revised, which positively requires a greater differentiation from the novice master, but also makes it more challenging on a human level.\u201d He points out that \u201cthe focus is on personal conviction, which must generate good and deep habits and continue to nurture them in all areas of religious and priestly life.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A broader experience before the novitiate<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

In addition, the Legionaries\u2019 candidate course, the preparatory course before entering the novitiate, \u201chas traditionally been very short, lasting two months, while the novitiate lasts two years.\u201d This disparity in timing leads him to reflect on living \u201ca period before that in which young people can live in an apostolic community, for example.\u201d Young people should \u201chave an experience of life in a community of religious and priests directly in an apostolic house, accompanying them in pastoral service and prayer life, thus tasting religious life.\u201d Along with this experience, young people will be able to \u201chave a regular prayer life, receive spiritual guidance, and help discern their vocation.\u201d During this period, they could also continue their studies or work in the apostolate. This is what is called in religious life a \u201cpostulancy\u201d period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Father Sylvester Heereman, LC, responsible for vocational pastoral care in Germany, delves into a key aspect: \u201cWe need to keep asking ourselves if we are helping young people find the depth and freedom of a discipleship life with Jesus Christ and to experience fellowship in faith.\u201d Until now, the Legionaries of Christ have offered young men considering the priestly vocation pastoral work\u00a0with them, the minor seminary, and the possibility of collaborating in some apostolic work, \u201cbut the step toward the novitiate is a profound turning point. The novice lives a completely new style of life for which one must prepare progressively on one hand, and on the other hand, it does not entirely correspond to the later life as a priest, which is very active and involves much cooperation with the consecrated<\/a> and laypeople.\u201d Conversely, far from this apostolic experience, \u201ca novitiate \u2014 continues Father Sylvester \u2014 is more monastic because it should allow an experience in the desert that truly tests the vocation.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The postulancy<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Returning to the idea of postulancy, Father Sylvester explains that\u00a0<\/span>this\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>will be a period of about nine months, during which interested individuals can live, for example, in one of our apostolic communities, so they can participate in an active community and experience the real life of a Legionary of Christ, which could be the \u2018final result of training,\u2019 so to speak.\u201d The young men will still live as laypeople, without religious discipline and without renouncing regular contact with their environment. Certainly, \u201cthe postulancy will have its own form, with more prayer times, participation in the apostolate, time to study vocational topics, special experiences such as pastoral trips, getting to know communities in other countries, because we are international. Of course, regular support also plays an important role in addressing the issue of appointment.\u201d After this experience, young people \u201ccan enter the novitiate with good foundations and inner security.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That following Christ becomes attractive again for young people is a matter that concerns all Christians: \u201cOnly in this environment can the Lord\u2019s invitation be recognized, valued, and freely chosen as a gift for a special form of following in religious life and, if God wills, in priestly service,\u201d concludes Father Sylvester.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
