あらすじ・解説
We are honored to sit down with Helen Yalbir today as she shares her experience attending the RC General Convention in Rome! Before diving into what it was like at the Convention, Helen shared a little about how she first met Regnum Christi and felt called to consecrated life. We chat about everything from her work as a spiritual director and serving young adults in Dallas, Texas, to her unique Turkish culture and all the many ways God has prepared her for this moment.
In the hope-filled conversation, Helen describes the family spirit and profound listening, prayer, and discernment that imbues her experience of the RC General Convention. She does a great job of explaining the structure, process, and some key takeaways. We highly encourage you to check out the links below, especially the communiqué with the conclusions—a worthwhile and powerful read!
May we all live this spirit of prayerful discernment as we ponder what God desires for each one of us in our own countries, localities, and families. One particular line from the communiqué stuck out as we continue to journey, listening to the stories of RC members around the world:
“This is the time of God’s grace for us, our kairós; it is time for the spiritual joy of the here and now, the moment to express redeeming love to all. We can regard the past without nostalgia or fear as it is the memory of God with us. We can look to the future with theological hope and without fantasies of earthly greatness.”
Truly, this is a time of God’s grace, a time for each of us to step out bravely in mission, a time for us to individually respond to what God may be asking us for this moment, for such a time as this.
