LEGION
OF MARY
By
A LEGIONARY
There is an army on the move in Georgia. An Army which
bears no arms, carries no gifts, an army created for Mary —
Tne Legion of Mary.
It is an army composed of men and women who work for
God “in the spirit of faith, and in union with Mary, in such
fasnion that in those worked for and in one’s fellow-members,
the Person of Our Lord is once again seen and served by Mary,
ills Mother.”
These Legionaries go out in pairs, in all sorts of weather,
to all kinds of homes, as Mary’s Messengers, bringing Faith,
Hope and Charity to their neighbors.
They call to let lonely people know that someone cares
enough to come to see them; to re-inspire lukewarm Catholics
with the flame of Goa’s Love; to gently nudge lapsed Catholics
back to the fervent practice of their Faith.
But visitation of homes, prisons, and hospitals is only part
of this “Legion Apostoiate.” They are the “legs” of the pas
tor in many other ways, taking tne parish census, distributing
Catholic literature, teaching Christian Doctrine, conducting
Chiiaren’s Clubs, and sewing classes, and recruiting members
for Parish Societies.
Line every successful Parish Society, the Legion works in
concert with and under the direction of the Parish Priest.
The Legionaries are strengthened for the performance of their
tasks, and their works are blessed and brought to fruition
through the prayers which each must offer every day.
They go about their work quietly and without fanfare, the
extent and the effect of their Apostoiate known, for the most
part, only to God. Yet many, in other pans of the world are
called to true Heroism in the cause of Christ and His Mother,
Mary. Many have died for that cause, and many, at this mo
ment, languish in prison because they believe that “It is bet
ter to obey God, rather than man.” They are Mary’s Army
oehind the iron and bamboo curtains.
These Legionaries, though they may be only a few in a
given Parish, know that they are but a small portion of a great
nost of “Brothers”. and “Sisters” all over the world. And they
draw courage and strength to presevere in efforts which some
times seem fruitless when they reflect that others have been
asked to do so much more. For it was the Legion of Mary
which sustained the Faith of the living and brought the sol
ace of Christ to the dying, when the Japanese invaders of the
Philippines killed their priests, drove them out, or forced them
into hiding. And it is the Legion of Mary in Poland, Hungary
and China today which sustains the Faith and rekindles the
Hope of thousands who are deprived of the ministrations of
the Priest.
This is the Legion of Mary, an army of men and women
who work for God, through Mary, and who grow close to God
through Mary — an army which spreads the Peace of Christ
in countless hearts, secure in the knowledge that its line of
march brings it ever closer to the day when “There shall be
but one flock and one Shepherd, and the whole earth will
resound, from pole to pole, with one cry, “Praise be the Divine
Heart which wrought out Salvation — to It be honor and
Glory forever!”
