2. An Intensely Ordered System Unharnessed, the great natural sources of power run to waste. Likewise, zeal unsystematic, enthusiasm undirected, never bring large results, interior or exterior, and seldom are durable. Aware of this, the Legion places before its members a mode of life rather than the doing of a work. It provides an intensely ordered system, in which much is given the force of rule that in other systems is merely exhorted or left to be understood, and regarding every detail of which it enjoins a spirit of scrupulous observance. It promises, in return, perseverance and conspicuous growth in the qualities of Christian perfection, namely, faith, love of Mary, fearlessness, self-sacrifice, fraternity, prayerfulness, prudence, patience, obedience, humility, gladness, and the apostolic spirit.

“The growth of what is usually designated the Lay Apostolate is a special manifestation of our modern days, possessing—were it for no other reason than the numbers concerned—infinite potentialities. Yet, insufficient seems the provision for this giant movement. When one looks upon the multitude of beautifully conceived Orders which cater for those who can abandon the "Birth of The ". world, the contrast with the form of organization thought good enough for Artist: Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682). those who are not so circumstanced, is very striking. On the one hand, what intensity and exact science, making the most of the material! On the other, Scripture does not give an account of Mary’s birth. how elementary and superficial is the provision made! The system calls, indeed, for some service from its members, but it forms for the generality However, the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James of them little more than an incident in the week’s round, and it hardly even fills in the gap. This work has no historical value, endeavors to play a more considerable part. There must be a higher conception of it. Should it not be the staff of their earthly pilgrimage—the but it does reflect the development of Christian very backbone of their whole spiritual life? Undoubtedly the Religious piety. According to this account, Anna and Joachim Order must form the pattern for workers in common and, other things being equal, it may be taken that the quality of the work done will improve in the are infertile but pray for a child. They receive the measure that there is approximation to the Order idea. Still this brings with promise of a child who will advance God’s plan of it the difficulty of determining the exact degree of rule which is to be imposed. Desirable though discipline is in the interests of efficiency, there salvation for the world. Such a story, like many is always the danger of overdoing it, and narrowing the appeal of the biblical counterparts, stresses the special presence organization. The fact must be borne in mind that the object in view is permanent lay organization—not something equivalent to a new Religious of God in Mary’s life from the beginning. Order, or which would eventually drift into becoming one, and of which Augustine connects Mary’s birth with Jesus’ history is full of instances. The aim is this, and no other: the drawing into efficient organization of persons living their ordinary life as we know it, saving work. He tells the earth to rejoice and shine and in whom the presence of various tastes and pursuits other than purely forth in the light of her birth. “She is the flower of religious ones has to be allowed for. The amount of regulation attempted should be no more than will be accepted by the average of the class for the field from whom bloomed the precious lily of whom the organization is intended, but it should certainly be nothing less.” the valley. Through her birth the nature inherited (Father Creedon, the first Spiritual Director of Concilium Legionis Mariae) from our first parents is changed.” The opening prayer at Mass speaks of the birth of Mary’s Son as the dawn of our salvation and asks for an increase of peace.
