The specific source of CLC Spirituality is the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The Spiritual Exercises can be experienced as a retreat and as a whole way of living in the world. The influence of the Spiritual Exercises is seen in our way of life; daily practice of personal prayer especially that based on Scripture, and discernment by means of a daily review of one's life (the Examen).

Our spirituality is centred on Christ and draws from the Sacred Scriptures; the liturgy, the doctrinal development of the Church and the revelation of God's will through the events of our times

CLC does not have a rule book but a set of General Principles which provide flexible and inspiring guidance.

Generous Response (Mission)

"...Our life is essentially apostolic. The field of CLC mission knows no limits: it extends both to the church and the world, in order to bring the gospel of salvation to all people and to serve individual persons and society by opening hearts to conversion and struggling to change oppressive structures.."
