The Catena Legionis

"Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising ..."
Yes thats what we all stand up to pray mid-way through the meeting and which must be prayed daily by every Legionary who calls him/herself a soldier of Mary.
But do we really attach any significance to the Catena at all? We are told it is the "CHAIN" that binds all members together as one family. When we refuse or fail to pray the Catena as required of us, we break that chain, that means if you fail to pray the Catena, you break yourselfe away from the family. For this to be avoided we must pray our Catena daily. Why do you think we are fighting about our numeric strength in terms of members not coming to meetings? This is beacause each one of us has one way or the other failed to pray the catena hence the break in the chain - members.
Lets try to pray the Catena daily so us to build a strong legion body in the church as we all know its part of our standing instructions.
May the peace of Our Lord Jesus and Mother Mary be with us all. Amen!!
