from EWTN

The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God

through the holiness of its members developed by prayer

and active co-operation, under ecclesiastical guidance,

in Mary's and the Church's work of crushing the head of the serpent

and advancing the reign of Christ.

 

 

WHAT IS THE LAY APOSTOLATE? an exerpt By CANON FRANCIS J. RIPLEY

THE LAITY AS TRUE WITNESSES OF CHRIST

In an important passage the Constitution says that, being incorporated in the Church through baptism, the faithful are consecrated by the baptismal character to the worship of the Christian religion and "reborn as sons of God they must confess before men the faith they have received from God through the Church." The sacrament of confirmation binds them more perfectly to the Church and "the Holy Spirit endows them with special strength so that they are more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith, both by word and by deed, as true witnesses of Christ."

The Legion and the New Evangelization

 All legionaries should know that the Legion exists in order to evangelize. That means that the legionary is called to live the Gospel fully and to share the Gospel fully.

http://www.the-pope.com/mary.html  Lay apostles must work against modern errors and vices. In these days, the Council tells us, "The laity must take up the renewal of the temporal order as their own special obligation." (II, 7) They must work vigorously against the many errors men have fallen into concerning the true God, the nature of man, and the principles of the moral law; they must fight against the corruption of morals; and they must try to help those "who having trusted excessively in the progress of the natural sciences and the technical arts, have fallen into an idolatry of temporal things and have become their slaves rather than their masters." (II, 7)
