Words from the Spiritual Director of the Legion of Mary

“My Holy Queen, my mother, I entirely belong to you, I am all yours. In all I have, belongs to you!” I really hope that every legionary can say this phrase, as it is not just a scripture, but it is also a motto for every Legion of Mary.

Virgin Mary is the Holy Queen because she is the mother of the risen Christ. Christ is the King who defeated death and sin. Holy Mother well deserves to be named as the Holy Queen.

Holy Mother has naturally become our mother. When Jesus was on the cross, he said to John: “Behold, your mother.” Since then, John took Holy Mother into his home. The twelve Apostles were all martyrs except John (Judas was also an exception), as God kept John for he could look after Holy Mother till the end of her life on earth.

“Entirely belong to Holy Mother”, shows that we let Holy Mother to lead us. Her thought becomes ours and her heart becomes our hearts.

When we carry out the teachings of the Gospel, we are living in communion with Jesus, and of course, we also living under the protection of the cloak of Holy Mother.

We are not to concern about the so-called gains and losses of the world. The important thing is: to live out God’s will with no flaw.

The Legion of Mary is the shortcut to achieve the sanctification in this modern world, because it requires each member to serve their neighbors with their hearts and passion.
