LEGION OF MARY AND PRO LIFE MARIA LEGIONIS NORTH AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT APRIL 1998 BY RITA REICHARDT, LA GRANGE, IL. Proclaiming the Gospel of Life through Prayer, Fasting and witness
******
from the July 2009 Allocutio The Legion Apostolate by Father Bede McGregor, Spiritual Director to Concilium
There is no greater charity than to pray and work ceaselessly for the salvation of souls. What is the point of getting everything we want and need in this life if we do not get into heaven for eternity? Pope Benedict told the youth of the world to keep an eye on eternity. That is the kind of thinking behind the Legion commitment to seek out and talk to every soul. We must speak with love to rich and poor, good and bad, educated and uneducated, young and old, healthy and sick, happy people and lonely people, in short, no one must be excluded from legionary outreach and apostolic love.
from the Vatican , DEC. 1, 2008 Papal Intention for Culture of Life
Benedict XVI is praying this month for the expansion of the culture of life.The Apostleship of Prayer announced the general intention chosen by the Pope: "That, faced by the growing expansion of the culture of violence and death, the Church may courageously promote the culture of life through all her apostolic and missionary activities."
from John Paul II
(World Youth Day Denver, Colorado) "Do not be afraid to go out on the streets and into public places, like the first Apostles who preached Christ and the Good News of salvation in the squares of cities, towns and villages. This is no time to be ashamed of the Gospel (cf. Rom 1: 16). It is the time to preach it from the rooftops (cf Mt 10:27)." The Gospel of Life A Message for Our Times from Priests for Life USA
