It is a happy and a gracious thing to be a Sodalist. In some parts of the world Sodalists are called Children of Mary. This title is also a beautiful one. It implies that same devoted care by Mary that Christ depended upon. It suggests all the gracious love that exists between a mother and her children. It turns isolated human beings into members of the Holy Family, since Mary for our Mother, Christ at once becomes our Brother, and with renewed faith we acknowledge God as our beloved Father. In this manual, we are offering you our hope to condense all those essential things needed for the conduct of a Sodality and the creation of the Sodality characteristics in the individual soul.Praised be Jesus and Mary!
