The Legion Handbook
The legion handbook is a compilation of the rules of the legion, the object of the legion and the aims of the legion.
Authored by the servant of God Frank Duff, the book contains almost everything one needs to know about the legion of Mary.
It is mostly described as the synopsis of the reasons why the legion was formed and its duty.
It contains materials that can help one in spiritual growth and it is arguably the best book that spoke our lady and her role in the salvation of mankind.
It is the legionary’s companion.
The Legion Tessera
The Legion Tessera is a booklet that contans the entire prayers of the legion of Mary.
It contains the opening prayers of the legion which must be said at the legion meeting and at the beginning of every legion work, the catena popularly called the magnificant which must be said at the legion meeting, every legion function and everyday by the legionary.
It also contains the closing prayer which is also called confer oh Lord on us. The prayer is a sort of reminder of the charter of the legion and the reason why the legion is in existence.
The tessera is presented to every new member by the treasurer or vice-president of the praesidium and new members are encouraged to say those prayers contained therein.
