Legion of Mary

     The Legion of Mary is one of the largest Catholics organization worldwide under the queenship of Mary founded by Bro. Frank Duff on September 7 1921 at Myra House Francis Street, Dublin Ireland. The main objective of the Legion of Mary is the self sanctification of all member through the holiness developed by prayer and active co- operation, under ecclesiastical guidance of the church. The first praesdium form by the Legion of Mary was " Our Lady of Mercy".
    The word legion is a extracted from Roman word means "Army" in which the Legion of Mary was been pattern. This army, now so considerable, had the most humble of the beginnings.The legionaries hope to render themselves worthy of their heavenly Queen by their loyalty, their virtues and their courage. The Legion of Mary is therefore organized on the model of an army, principally on that of the army of ancient Rome, the terminology of which is adopted also. But the army and the arms of legionaries of Mary are not in this world.
   The spirit of the Legion of Mary is that of Mary herself. Especially does the Legions aspire after the profound virtues such as humility, her perfect obedience,her angelical sweetness, her continual prayer, her universal mortification, her altogether spotless purity, her heroic patience her heavenly wisdom, her self sacrificing courageous love of God and above all her faith, that virtue which has in her alone been found in its utmost extend and never equaled.
