Everybody stood up for the Catena Legionis led by Sis. Isabel

ALLOCUTTIO (by Sis. President)

There are many people who are not in the church. These are the people who need our
help. As Christians, as Catholics, there is an obligations to go to mass and to know that there is
God.

Why people turn to other religion? Because they are the people who are willing to be
converted. Once you are baptized, you can’t erase it. But sad to say, some changed religion …
why? Because Catholic Church is very liberal. We, as legionaries, let us be patient. It takes
patience and prayers to let them go to mass, so that these people will be convinced. Start one
people in the family. Let’s join and include them in our devotion. Let us also take a rest and
thank God for the blessings. Those are the things we need to explain. If you are able to bring one
soul to God, that’s more than 1000 apostolate.

The labor is difficult but let us be patient. If we do our apostolate, remember that Blessed
Mother is always with us!

POINTS STRESSED (was read by Sis. Betty)

“If fact, there will be little failure for the legionary with simple courageous faith, no
matter where or in what dark and evil place he or she may labour. The rule is short-spread abroad

good anywhere and you raise all.” EHB, 310.
