What do you stand for?
Have you ever thought about
the power of having a purpose? Everyone needs something that gets them moving in
the morning, keeps them going through the day, and makes them continue to work
toward a goal. Take some time to think about the activities you are involved in
and how they relate to your personal purpose. For the activities that don't
serve your purpose, ask yourself why you continue with them. Perhaps you need to
reevaluate your commitments and renew your conviction toward your purpose.
Members are Catholic who are intensely bent on living the interior life
deeply and vigorously. A member is zealous for the salvation and
sanctification of souls, working for them in every kind of apostolate and
corporal work of mercy. She may be found visiting the sick in nursing
homes or the hospital. She attends wakes, especially those of Sodality
members and attends their funerals.
She possesses a deep, sincere and consecrated devotedness to the Blessed Virgin
Mary, her Queen, Advocate and Mother and shows it by striving to imitate her
splendid virtues; places all her confidence in her and leads others to love and
serve her.
She sees value, personal and apostolic, of the following rules and lets them shape her way of life and living. She is a frequent and even daily attendee at Mass and Holy Communion and Days of Recollection. She attends meetings when possible and volunteers to take active part in the programs of charitable and apostolic action. She is careful of her Sodality's good name and seeks to obtain new members for its ranks and is one, in short, who strives to live the Christian way of life as fully as she can.
Pope Benedict the XIV wrote about the
Sodality, “It is impossible to over-estimate the wonderful amount of good
effected by this pious and praiseworthy association among persons of every rank
and class”
It’s impossible to tell how much this organization can help young people.
