What a comforting thought!

Yes this is everything. Mary is just the best. Invite Mary into your life if you haven’t. She will literally change it. There’s no logic to it. She just has a way.
Imagine, if you will, Our Lady consoling and comforting a person in need through you.
Frank Duff, the founder of The Legion of Mary, helped to build a force to rescue souls. The beauty of it is that Our Lady does the heavy lifting. We, under her leadership, visit and build relationships with the forgotten and lonely in our society.
Who captvated Victoria last year and brought her into the fullness of faith via RCIA classes and then the Sacraments at Easter Vigil?
Who used me to bring in another soul this year, Marge? She is a widow that has a son who lives downstate, 300 miles away. He can’t visit her as much as he would like too. Upon multipile visits and cleaning up her yard, Our Lady asked her to consider becomming Catholic. She said yes. We are halfway, almost, through our OCIA classes.
It isn’t me doing this work of evangelization.
I am sharing this witness as a means to spread the Legion of Mary, not boast of my works since they are not mine to boast about, but Hers.
Our Legion of Mary team just opened up a new Presidium in Onekama Michigan, Fr. Brad Nursey pastor.
We…WE can, you and me, can truly bring Faith, Hope and Charity into lives that need help.
The following video of our founder, Servant of God, Frank Duff, speaks for itself. Please consider watching it. Thank You.

When at 11:30 pm in June of 2022 my wife was bringing me to the Emergency Room while an 800 pound gorilla sat on my chest, all I could do was pray the Hail Mary and the Jesus Prayer; I did the same during the subsequent helicopter ride to the main hospital where the doctors roto-rooted my cardiac arteries: I prayed the Rosary like never before. Jesus is our only Mediator, but Mary is our Intercessor as she was at the Wedding Feast in Cana of Galilee 2000 years ago. And thanks to her intercession, now a little more than 2 years later I can do 25 kilometers on the elliptical trainer without fighting any gorillas on my chest.
