Daily review November 19

Monday, November 19, 2018

Today at 10am, the second session of the Extraordinary General Assembly of Regnum Christi began with the hymn “Veni Creator” invoking the Holy Spirit.

Yesterday, the Chapter Fathers and the delegates of the Assemblies of the Consecrated Lay Men and the Consecrated Women met together.  Some of the members of the Drafting Commission and the Technical Commission explained the elaboration of the third draft of the Statutes of the Regnum Christi Federation. They presented different possible models of how to allocate our apostolatic activity (events, programs and works of apostolate) between the branches and the Federation.  The delegates will need to weigh in on these models during the Assemblies and Chapter.

After the meeting, the delegates had a time of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament all together and prayed vespers, followed by dinner.

This morning, there were some preliminary sessions prescribed by the Functioning Rule of the Assembly.  Afterwards, the delegates had time to continue studying all the supporting materials that they received.  In the afternoon, Fr. Luis Manuel Gutiérrez, L.C. and Félix Gómez Rueda, both members of the Technical Commission, answered the delegates’ questions about the different models for assigning the apostolic activity that were developed by the Commission.
