SODALITIUM CHRISTIANAE VITAE: ANNIVERSARY OF CANONICAL APPROVAL


VATICAN CITY, JUL 18, 2002 (VIS) - At the end of the general audience yesterday, the Pope delivered a message to the founder and superior general of Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, Luis Fernando Figari, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of its canonical approval as a society of apostolic life.

In the message, John Paul II encourages the members to always aspire to sanctity from their specific Christian vocation, through apostolate in different fields of activity with young people, evangelization of culture, promotion of Christian life in family and in service to the poor, needy and defenseless, privileged fields of their work."

"In addition, I wish to extend once again the invitation to the whole 'sodalite' family to live intimately united to Christ, in communion of mind and heart with the pastors of the Church, cultivating a style that combines prayer and apostolate, obtaining a solid spirituality that allows you to see God in all things and so that all things lead to God."
