Headlines from the Catholic World
Rome, Italy, Jan 10, 2014 / 02:30 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- As the Legionaries meet in Rome for their General Chapter, spokesman Fr. Benjamin Clariond voiced the congregation’s hopes for a stronger apostolate with a more keen awareness of their challenges.
“After this period of renewal and purification, we would like to continue serving the Church and offering our ministries with a renewed enthusiasm, and also with a greater awareness of our limitations,” the spokesman said in his Jan. 10 interview with CNA.
Fr. Clariond also expressed the importance of recognizing “the beautiful reality of working together in a spirit of communion in the local and universal Church.”
However, he emphasized that “we also have to be realistic,” explaining that “the process of reform, renewal, etc. is not a one-time thing, but an ongoing effort to confront and, with God’s grace, configure ourselves with the Gospel and our mission.”
