LEGION OF MARY When the Redeen cr was promised to a sinful world G ci said that He would come through a woman and that this Woman would crush the head ot th serpent lr rom that moxrient on our Blessed Mother was destined to be a constant toe of thc devil It would henceiorth be her task to seek out evil wherever it might be found in order to destroy it. The isegion of Mary is dedicated to the Mother oi God. lt is priv- ileged to be one of her allies and as such to help her wage war against the evils of todav.

Thus each member is obligated each week to do something in the spirit of obedience. The task is assigned by the President of the Praesidium.
