The Legion of Mary and the Gospel of Life

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.

Secondarily, the goal of the Legion of Mary is to embody the ideals of Christianity through the spiritual works of mercy.

Originally in Ireland, the Legionaries served the destitute, those in hospitals, and even prostitutes.

Here in Tennessee, the Legion visits nursing homes, prays outside of abortion clinics,

articipates in the spiritual education of children, and some Legionaries even do door to door evangelization.
