    Japan who spent some time admiring the first Legion altar and looking at the photographs of Envoys, four of whom were responsible for setting up and spreading the Legion in Japan. Like so many other visitors they enjoyed a cup of tea and a tour of Frank Duff’s house. They deeply appreciated the time and hospitality given to them. The Bishop is considering having the Legion in his Diocese and will give it further consideration on his return home. Sincere thanks to all the legionaries who helped in any way. Prayer for the Beatification of the Servant of God Frank Duff God our Father, You inspired your servant Frank Duff with a profound insight into the mystery of Your Church, the Body of Christ, and of the place of Mary the Mother of Jesus in this mystery. In his immense desire to share this insight with others and in filial dependence on Mary he formed her Legion to be a sign of her maternal love for the world and a means of enlisting all her children in the Church's evangelizing work. We thank you Father for the graces conferred on him and for the benefits accruing to the Church from his courageous and shining faith. With confidence we beg You that through his intercession you grant the petition we lay before You................. We ask too that if it be in accordance with Your will, the holiness of his life may be acknowledged by the Church for the glory of your Name, through Christ Our Lord, Amen. All Legion Councils, Praesidia and individual legionaries are encouraged to actively promote the Cause of the Servant of God, Frank Duff, through the widespread dissemination of the Frank Duff prayer leaflets, through the organizing of Frank Duff prayer groups BULLETIN - September 2018 and the holding of Masses to commemorate his life.

  • 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 in Mary’S and the Church’S Work
    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 in Mary’s and the Church’s work. Legion of Mary holds a weekly meeting, where prayer is intermingled with reports and discussion. The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual and social welfare of each individual. The members participate in the life of the parish through visitation of families, the sick, in hospitals and through collaboration in every apostolic and missionary undertaking sponsored by the parish. Every Legionary is required to carry out a weekly apostolic work in the spirit of faith and in union with Mary. The Legion of Mary is a lay apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Graces, serve the Church and their neighbor on a voluntary basis in about 170 countries. Many persons outside the Catholic Church would also benefit from that apostolate. With the approval and support of the Popes and a great many Bishops, Priests and Religious, as well as the prayers and efforts of legionaries, the Legion, by the grace of God, has grown into a worldwide organization with several million members. The Legion aims to bring Mary to the world as the infallible means of winning the world to Jesus and legionary service is based on the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ so that in their fellow members and in those they serve, legionaries seek to have the Person of our Lord once again seen and served by Mary, his Mother.

  • On Pilgrimage - October 1951
    On Pilgrimage - October 1951 Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, October 1951, 1, 2, 6. Summary: Extols traveling by bus and recalls the many trips she and Peter Maurin made to spread the Catholic Worker philosophy. Travels through New England, New York, Pennsyl- vania, and Ohio visiting Catholic Worker farms, houses of hospitality, and family groups, highlighting their work, struggles, and joys. (DDLW #624). There is a fascination about traveling, getting on a bus and going from town to town, visiting fellow workers, seeing again the houses of hospitality, the farms, the homes of young married couples whose lives have been given direction and meaning by the teaching of Peter Maurin. He used to love to go on a long trip, from coast to coast, a rather zig-zag route, nothing planned, dropping in on readers of the paper, speaking where he was invited. At one school he would talk of a philosophy of manual labor, at another on the use of force and the force of ideas. Remember Phillip I remember one such meeting at Notre Dame when Peter and I met, coming from different cities, and there was a gala luncheon in our honor and Emmanuel Chapman and Robert Pollock and Peter being so immersed in discussion that the meal dragged on for hours, and they continued talking all night, almost, and until we were put on the bus next day. Peter was going in one direction and I in another, and when he started to take a wrong bus and Chapman steered him to another, he said, “Oh, that bus to Toledo was all right.

One of more than seven thousand African Initiated Churches in existence today, it combines conservative Catholicism, traditional religion and charismatic manifestations of the Spirit. Yet this group is different in one important respect—it worships a black messiah, claiming that its founder, Simeo Ondeto, was Jesus Christ reincarnated in African skin. This article considers factors involved in the group’s genesis as a distinct modern-day messianic movement, including: (1) the need to defend and define itself vis-à-vis Roman Catholicism; (2) the appropriation of apocalyptic ideas found in Christian scriptures and their synthesis with local religious traditions; and (3) the imitation of Jesus’ example and teaching to confront political and religious persecution in a manner marked by openness, universalism and non- violence.

  • "Catholic Bishops' Conference Statement on the Charismatic
    Melanesian Journal of Theology 1-2 (1985) DOCUMENTATION Catholic Bishops’ Conference Statement on the Charismatic Renewal in Papua New Guinea This statement was drafted by Bishops Ray Kalisz (Wewak) and Hermann Raich (Wabag), and it was adopted by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference at its May, 1985, meeting. Pope John Paul asked 650 leaders of charismatic communities from 108 countries at a special audience that “all their spiritual efforts be towards a personal encounter of each individual with Christ, in the community of the church”. The aim of the conference of these delegates was “to integrate the sacramental and charismatic dimensions of Catholic spirituality”. This statement, along with Pope Paul’s description of the movement for renewal in the Spirit as “a chance for the church and for the world”, is to be the fundamental guideline given by the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands for Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Papua New Guinea. Thereby, the Conference gives its approval to the charismatic movement as one of the authentic movements for spiritual renewal of the church taking place in Papua New Guinea. There seems to be no doubt that there is an outpouring of the Spirit upon the Catholic church in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, expressed by an upsurge of interest in parish bible groups, Legion of Mary, lay ministries, and responsibilities in the church, as well as movements going on in liturgy, catechesis, etc., for which we thank God. The aim of the Charismatic Renewal (CCR) is to help the faithful to experience more sincerely and intensively the presence and action of the Holy Spirit, which they have already received through the sacraments of baptism and confirmation.

Flag of the Southern Cross, Henry Lawson, 1887 The Catholic tradition holds that the Holy Spirit guides all into the truth. In its search for the path of truth, the Church in Australia And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness seeks to be guided by the light of the Holy Spirit; a light symbolised of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, by the great Constellation of the Southern Cross. That path and like the stars forever and ever. light offers a comprehensive approach to governance issues raised Daniel, 12:3 by the abuse crisis and the broader need for cultural change.

  • The Legion of Mary in South America (1950-1984)
    The Historical Significance of the Legion of Mary in South America (1950-1984) Very few countries have been called upon by Divine Providence to rebuild the Church in more than one historical setting. Spain has had this privilege. She discovered and evangelized the New World, and on three seperate occasions defeated the greatest enemies of the Church: the Muslims, the French Revolutionaries and the Communists. Ireland has also had this privilege. The Monks of the West leaving Ireland in the sixth and seventh centuries established monasteries throughout Europe rebuilding the Church which the fall of the Roman Empire had brought down with it. 1 In the twentieth century Ireland has again been called by Providence to send its missionaries throughout the world, to strenghthen the Church which is in so much need of repair. This movement, founded in Dublin in 1921 is known as the Legion of Mary. It is not a coincidence that the roots of the Legion stem back to 1917, the year of Our Lady's appearance at Fatima and the Communist Revolution. In just sixty-four years the Legion has grown to become the largest lay-apostolic organization in the Church, numbering almost two-million active and fifteen-million auxiliary members. In the same spirit as the monks of the West, over seventy-five Legionaries have served Our Lady in foreign lands, and more leave the shores of Ireland every year. Volumes could be written on the experiences and successes of these envoys, as well as the Legion's effect upon China, Africa, the Philippines, South Korea, Europe and North America.
