Prayers for Cardinal Pell
Dear Legionaries,
We were saddened to hear of the unexpected death of Cardinal George Pell - so soon after our mourning the loss of beloved Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
We thank God for the life and work of Cardinal Pell, who defended the faith with great courage and charity. His ministry brought great blessings to the Church - especially in Melbourne and Sydney, where he was shepherd, but across Australia and indeed around the world.
We pray for the repose of his soul, especially asking the prayers of our Blessed Mother, whom he deeply loved and honoured.

The Role and Spirit of the Legion
The Legion of Mary is an international Catholic lay organisation, which aims to collaborate in the Church's mission of evangelisation. Its members engage in the direct religious apostolate, especially towards those most remote from the Church's influence. In the spiritual formation of its members the Legion places much emphasis on the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ, on seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and on the performance of apostolic work in union with Mary.
Members place themselves at the service of Mary, and wish to help her in her mission as "Mother of the Church."
