10 FROM THE PASTOR S DESK THE LEGION OF MARY-THE BLESSED MOTHER S ARMY There is an old story told about a priest who was greeting his parishioners after mass one sunny Easter morning. He saw a couple that was very friendly but whom he had not seen in church for months, in fact since Christmas! So the priest said, Listen- I m happy to see both of you but you need to join the army of the Lord! The wife said, Oh Father, we are in God s army already! Then how come I only see you at Christmas and Easter? The pastor inquired. The husband chimed in, Father, we are in the Secret Service! Perhaps many people are in that service since Mass attendance is way down in the Catholic Church. Perhaps some people would not like to think of the Church as an army and it s members as Soldiers of Jesus Christ, but its true to say that as Catholics we are engaged in a battle to save our souls from our enemy the devil. A couple of years ago, I received a book with an interesting title, the title? Onward Catholic Soldier. It s all about spiritual warfare and how prayer, fasting and right conduct is our armor as followers of Jesus Christ. It s something interesting to think about. Since Vatican Two, the Church has emphasized that every one of us-not just the priests and nuns have a vocation and that vocation is to holiness of life. Holiness involves not only saying prayers as important as they are. Holiness also means being a leaven in the world and witnessing to Christ by our activity. One organization in the Church that does so much good in this regard is called the Legion of Mary. The Legion of Mary was started in Ireland by a man named Frank Duff. In 1931, the group was begun in the United States and has flourished. The term Legion in Roman times referred to a contingent of 3,000-6,000 soldiers which formed a part of that great army. The Legion of Mary is what we might call the Blessed Mother s Army, for it advances the call of Christ and the Gospel in a very strong way. Just this past spring, under the direction of Father Marius, we began our own Legion of Mary praesidium here in the parish. The group usually meets on Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 PM in the rectory and already has several members. At a typical legion meeting, the Rosary is recited and the Spiritual Director gives a talk which is known as an Allocutio. The Legion of Mary handbook is read and members are then given assignments to do some kind of apostolic work. The requirement is for two hours of apostolic activity a week. Assignments could include handing our rosaries or pamphlets, teaching religion class, visiting the sick or homebound or even following up with a couple that has just had their baby baptized and needs greater connection to the Church. Through the years as a priest in various parishes I have seen firsthand the good that the legion can do in a community. If someone finds the weekly meeting and the apostolic work a little hard to manage as far as time, you can become an auxiliary member of the legion and just say the basic prayers at home. I am excited about having the Legion of Mary in our parish here at Saint Charles and encourage you to perhaps think about joining! There is nothing secret about the fact that there is so much evil in our world today. Someone said that in order for evil to thrive it is enough for good people just to do nothing! This summer consider doing something more for Jesus and His Mother Mary! Sincerely in Christ, Father Jerome 10
