In a message addressed to Mauricio Lopez, President of the World Christian Life Communities, His Holiness Pope Francis sent encouragement to all members to “to continue to make Christ present in their respective environments”, giving an apostolic meaning to all the activities they undertake. Representatives of 70 countries are gathered in Buenos Aires for the World Assembly of Christian Life Communities. The assembly is taking place from 22 to 31 July in Buenos Aires.
As reported by Vatican news, The Pontiff expressed appreciation for the celebration of the 2018 World Assembly, “which coincides with the 50th anniversary of your journeying as Christian Life Community” and for wanting to pray and reflect together so that “the Lord may grant you a greater depth in the living out of your charism, and thus, by delving deeper into the received charism, you may continue to be a gift for the Church and for the world”.
Holy Father Pope Francis encouraged those participating in the Assembly to “continue to be guided by a Christian way of life, with a strong spiritual life and working for the Kingdom, which means letting oneself be shaped by the love of Jesus, having his same sentiments (see Phil 2: 5), asking oneself continuously: What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What ought I to do for Christ? (see Sp. Ex. 53)”.
