Antiphon. Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?

(Make the Sign of the Cross)
v. My soul glorifies the Lord.*
R. My spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour.

v. He looks on His servant in her lowliness;* henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
R. The Almighty works marvels for me.* Holy His name!

v. His mercy is from age to age,* on those who fear Him.
R. He puts forth His arm in strength* and scatters the proud-hearted.

v. He casts the mighty from their thrones* and raises the lowly.
R. He fills the starving with good things,* sends the rich away empty.

v. He protects Israel His servant,* remembering His mercy,
R. The mercy promised to our fathers,* to Abraham and his sons for ever.

v. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
R. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Antiphon. Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?

v. O Mary, conceived without sin.
R. Pray for us who have recourse to you.

Let us pray.
O Lord Jesus Christ, our mediator with the Father, Who has been pleased to appoint the Most Blessed Virgin, Your mother, to be our mother also, and our mediatrix with You, mercifully grant that whoever comes to You seeking Your favours may rejoice to receive all of them through her. Amen.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS: MEMBERSHIP IN THE LEGION OF MARY

While the Legion originated as an organization for women, who retain a place of honor within its structure, it serves as an equally effective foundation for men. Established in 1921 with female membership, the movement welcomed men in 1927 following the opening of the Morning Star Hostel. By December 1929, the first two male praesidia, β€˜The Morning Star’ and β€˜Our Lady of Knowledge’, were formally affiliated with the Central Council.

Remarkably, during an era when women faced widespread exclusion from both civic employment and Church voluntary work, women within the Legion exercised pivotal roles of leadership and authority from the outset. Furthermore, the expansion into the Americas, Africa, and China began through male praesidia.

Members of the Legion of Mary are addressed by the title of β€œBrother” or β€œSister” solely for the purposes of its apostolic work. Depending on pastoral needs and upon the approval of the Curia, members may be organized into men’s, women’s, boys’, girls’, or mixed praesidia.

Today, active membership in the Legion of Mary is open to all practicing Catholics who are dedicated to fulfilling the Church's apostolate of bringing Christ to the world and are prepared to discharge every duty required of its members.

LEGIOknow | The Official Handbook of the Legion of Mary

The Handbook, which Duff wrote, describes the organization and its manner of functioning. It explains that the root of the Legion is the basic Christian duty of serving one’s neighbour. The Handbook was written based on β€˜what was in existence’.

It sets out the details of Legion organization and explains Legion spirituality. Duff completed the first version of the Handbook in the late summer of 1928, and it was printed for private circulation.

When the earliest version of the Handbook became available in 1928, a copy was sent to Archbishop Byrne with a request for an imprimatur so that its compliance with the faith and morals of the Roman Catholic Church could be acknowledged and the book could be circulated publicly.

The position then was that, eleven years after the founding of the Legion, no diocesan approval had been granted either for the organization or for the Handbook. The Legion of Mary organization had finally gained diocesan approval in Dublin, but the Dublin imprimatur for the Handbook would not be granted for a further two years.

The earliest imprimatur for the Legion Handbook was given by the Archbishop of Melbourne, Dr Mannix, in May 1934. The first edition of the Handbook to be printed with the imprimatur of the Archbishop of Dublin is dated 7 March 1937. The nihil obstat is that of Michael L. Dempsey. This indicates that a document has been examined by the censor, in this case Dempsey, and nothing has been found to stand in the way of an imprimatur, or of granting permission to publish.

Ultimately, the Handbook serves as the foundational guide and spiritual cornerstone of the Legion of Mary. By preserving the movement's core identity, establishing official Church alignment, and outlining uniform practical guidelines, it ensures consistency and spiritual fidelity across every praesidium worldwide.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY, ASSUMED INTO HEAVEN

Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Jesus and our Mother, we believe in your triumphant assumption into heaven where the angels and saints acclaim you as Queen. We join them in praising you and bless the Lord who raised you above all creatures. With them we offer you our devotion and love. We are confident that you watch over our daily efforts and needs, and we take comfort from the faith in the coming resurrection. We look to you, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. After this earthly life, show us Jesus, the blest fruit of your womb, O kind, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary. Amen.

Mary, Assumed into Heaven
Pray for us!

AUGUST 15 | THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

The Dogma of the Assumption reminds us that Our Lady was taken body and soul into heavenly glory, serving as a beacon of dignity, purpose, and eternal hope for us today. Defined by Pope Pius XII in 1950 through Munificentissimus Deus, this solemn truth highlights God's beautiful plan for humanity and our ultimate calling as His beloved children.

β€œThe Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.” β€” Pope Pius XII
