Members of the Legion of Mary (LOM) from the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur gathered on March 19 at the Church of St Francis of Assisi to renew their consecration to Mary, Queen of the Legion.

The Acies, which is the most important Legion function of the year, began with a procession of officers and members carrying banners bearing the name of the Praesidia and Curiae under the Kuala Lumpur Regia.

This was followed by the recitation of the Rosary in five languages.

The Regia President, Ignatius Wang, welcomed all and noted that the turnout of the approximately 800 legionaries was evidence of their strong devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The legionaries were joyful for this opportunity to reconnect, and to reflect on whether they have been Salt of the Earth and Light of the World and to renew themselves to be better disciples.

Fr Paul Cheong OFM Cap, Ecclesiastical Assistant of the LOM, exhorted on the importance of the Acies. Legionaries have a special consecration to Mary which calls them to live out their daily lives of holiness and mission, following the Legion spirituality; commitment in reverence, obedience; work in union with and in dependence on Mary and with open hearts to her so that she may care, protect and guide us throughout the year.

At the heart of this vocation is the consecration for the sanctification and evangelising mission, of helping to build the Church filled with committed Catholics, invited to be involved in the life and mission of the Church and the diocese through loving service of God and the Church.

Frs Paul Cheong, Martin Then CDD and Simon Lau led the renewal of the individual consecration expressing publicly the condensed and beautiful formula; “I am all yours, my Queen, my Mother, and all that I have is yours.” The Acies ended with benediction, followed by light refreshments.
