Legion Mariens Ried i. I.

The aim of the Legion of Mary

The aim of the Legion of Mary is the glorification of God through the sanctification of its
members who, through prayer and active collaboration under ecclesiastical direction, develop in the work of
of Mary and the Church to overcome evil and promote the Kingdom of Christ. The Legion of Mary, with the help of the Holy Spirit, seeks to serve Jesus under the guidance and in union with His Mother, the Immaculate Virgin Mary and Mediatrix of All Graces, in accordance with the vision of its founder, Frank Duff.It is available to diocesan bishops and pastors or other competent ecclesiastical authorities for a variety of ministries that they deem appropriate for Legionaries. The Legion of Mary focuses on the spiritual and moral good of souls and therefore does not aim to provide material aid, which is left to other apostolates.
