Pope Francis offered four recommendations to the Canons Regular of the Lateran in his audience with them on Monday 19 June at the Vatican, noting they are also helpful for every religious congregation. First, he underscored the importance of"prayer" as"oxygen" for the soul and a help not to fall into selfishness and self-referentiality. Then he mentioned"community," being"brothers" and avoiding at all times the"scourge" of gossip.
Prayer, community, the sharing of goods, and service represent four continuing aspects of the history of the Canons Regular as they celebrate 200 years since their foundation, the Pope underscored,"four stars that never wane and ones that make your apostolate luminous and relevant.
The Pope described how their charism encourages them to be contemplative and active at the same time, both dedicated to prayer and study as well as to ministry, ready to respond to the needs of the changing times.Apart from the challenges of the past when the Congregation made"courageous choices," there are those of the present, the Pope went on to say.
He also warned about how money can destroy communion, as"the devil enters through pockets." The sharing of goods in community is wise on the other hand, the third"star."In conclusion, the fourth"star" the Pope highlighted is"the spirit of service to the Church" recalling how the very title of the Canons Regular recalls the importance of service.
