all ages will call me blessed. The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is his
name! His mercy is from age to age, on those who fear him. He puts forth his
arm in strength and scatters the proud-hearted. He casts the mighty from their
thrones and raises the lowly. He fills the starving with good things, sends the
rich away empty. He protects Israel, his servant, remembering his mercy, the
mercy promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his sons forever.

serve you in our neighbor; a faith, firm and immovable as a rock, through which

salvation of souls; a faith which will be our Legion’s Pillar of Fire - to lead
us forth united - to kindle everywhere the fires of divine love - to enlighten
those who are in darkness and the shadow of death - to inflame those who are
lukewarm - to bring life to those who are dead in sin; and which will guide our
