Marian Spirituality and Membership in the Legion of Mary

Mary instantly accepted God’s call without reservation, no ifs or what ifs, just innocent humility and faith that her God’s request was her command, that her choice must be the humble acceptance of His infinite authority.

For humankind to reach toward Mary’s heights of spiritual glory, we must emulate the humility, devoid of pride, that enabled Mary to accept the role of Mother of God.  We must accept all His Divine teachings as defined by His Church.  Any deviance from this is tantamount to Pride in questioning the word of the Almighty Creator.

The Legion of Mary is open to all Catholics who

  • Faithfully Practice their Religion

  • Are animated by the desire to participate in the Church’s apostolate through membership in the Legion;

  • Are prepared to fulfill each and every duty which active membership in the Legion involves.

How do we define “Faithfully” in the practice our Religion?

  1. We believe & strive to keep all the Ten Commandments of God
  2. We observe the Precepts of the Catholic Church
  3. We partake in the Sacraments of the Catholic Church pertaining to our state in life
  4. We pray
  5. We practice the Seven Cardinal Virtues
  6. We avoid the Seven Deadly Sins

Any deviation from these tenets, will put us in the occasion of sin until confessed in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  Anyone, who in conscience is unable to live by the tenets of the Catholic Church should not consider membership in the Legion of Mary.
