Description

The Christian Life Community is an international movement of lay men and women, young and adult, who desire to deepen their relationship with Jesus and discover their individual calling, with a desire to be persons of service. This is done in the context of a community, and embracing the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits).
Members gather regularly in small groups to support one another in living a way of life based on Gospel values. They reflect on their lives and on the situations around them, share their experiences and pray together. They help each other to know Christ better, to find what he is asking of them in their lives, individually and as a community.
Gradually, their friendship deepens through the mutual support and compassionate understanding that comes from a common desire to give a deeper meaning to their lives. The aim is for them to grow, with time, in their capacity to love, to reach out to others who are in need, to bring justice to the environments they find themselves in, to bring true peace.
The small communities are organised into larger communities regionally and nationally, together forming the World Community. At present in Malta there are some two hundred and forty CLC members, who meet on a regular basis in about twenty different communities, each with its own character and history.
