MISSION STATEMENT</h3>
The Legion of the Immaculate Mother of God was established to the greater honor and glory of God, for the salvation of souls and to foster devotion to the great, immaculate Mother of God.
<br><br><hr><h3>
WHY DEVOTION TO MARY?</h3>
God is glorified in the victory of the Holy Spirit in the lives of our heroes in the faith. Mary, who was over shadowed by the Holy Spirit, was prepared by the Holy Spirit to be the Mother of God through her Immaculate Conception. Mary is the greatest of the Saints in Heaven because at the Annunciation she became the spouse of the Holy Spirit. The term over shadowed is a marriage term and reveals the unique role Mary was to play in the economy of our salvation. When we venerate and foster devotion to Mary we become closer to Christ because, as the Angel said at the Annunciation, the Lord is with her. When we unite with Our Lady of Grace we become closer to Christ who alone is the sole arbiter and dispenser of all Graces. Mary cannot on her own hear our prayer and grant our petition but when we unite with her ministry of intercesstion our prayers are more pleasing to God. Sin blocks us from receiving the graces God wants us to have. Mary helps us to receive the gifts God has planned for us because of our faith in Christ. While all prayer terminates in Christ and through Christ to the Father, God has shown His approval for devotion to Mary by His many miracles, wonders and signs that come upon us who have recourse to the Mother of God.
