A LEGIONARY loves...
The Church: Legion of Christ only has meaning within the Church, for the sake of the Church.
The Pope as his father: he studies and spreads his teachings, he defends, recommends and puts into practice the pope's initiatives.
Mary as his tender mother: he strives to imitate her virtues.

Christ Centered
Christ Calls Us to Come Together to Be Sent by Him
A Legionary aspires to make Christ the center, standard and example of his religious, priestly and apostolic life. He fosters a real, personal, manly, and passionate love for Christ.
A Legionary seeks to know, love and experience Christ intimately, above all in the Gospel, the Eucharist and the Cross. He wants to proclaim to all people God’s merciful love and lead them to a redemptive encounter with Christ.
Devoted to the
Sacred Heart
In his devotion to the Sacred Heart, a Legionary has a privileged path to form a meek and humble priestly heart and to spread Christ’s Kingdom throughout the world. Therefore, he fosters a creative and abnegated spirit of service, treats others with goodness and simplicity, praises what is good and avoids speaking poorly of others.
In the Heart of Christ, a Legionary encounters also the merciful love of God which moves him to embrace the cross in his own life, atone for sins and give himself to mankind.
