Father Schultz would like to invite all parishioners to attend. The bishop will be coming as well. This ceremony is one of the most beautiful and profound functions of the Legion. The purpose of the Acies is to renew and deepen our Consecration to Mary at least once a year.

Before the Acies, you might want to ponder on the little article that Frank Duff, (the founder of the Legion of Mary) wrote on ‘Our Debt to Mary.’ In it he said that

“If we really knew what Mary’s maternity of each one of us cost her and if we had even an inkling of her love for us and her share in the work of our salvation; we would probably find making a total consecration to her the most inevitable and delightful thing we could ever do.”

It is also good to note that the life of Frank Duff was utterly transformed by the repeated reading of De Montfort's True Devotion of Mary, and the same may very well happen to us if we follow his example.
