Father Álvaro Corcuera, the general director of the Legion of Christ, sent a letter for the feast of Christ the King to members of Regnum Christi, Catholic News Agency reported Nov. 28.  He wrote about having “limitless confidence in Christ.”

The letter focused on the Kingdom of Christ: “Christ’s Kingdom is not an abstract or ill-defined reality. If Christ is calling us to establish his Kingdom on this earth, we can ask ourselves where and how we are to do so.”

Christians are to begin the Kingdom in their own hearts, he wrote.

“But Christ’s sovereignty must not be limited to our own heart,” he added. Christians are to be “real torches of Christ’s love” by helping others open themselves to Christ, by imitating him and by letting him “take ownership of our thoughts, words and deeds.”

He also asked forgiveness from those who have suffered because of the “sorrowful circumstances” of the order; earlier this year it was revealed that Legion of Christ founder Father Marcial Maciel fathered a child.

“On this day of Christ the King, let us also entrust ourselves in a special way to Mary, the mirror of the Church, so that by contemplating her we will come to understand the greatness of our vocation,” Father Corcuera concluded, citing Mary’s words in the Gospel of John to “do whatever he tells you.”
