Today is the 104th anniversary of the founding of the Legion of Mary by SG Frank Duff. Here is a prayer for his beatification.

O God, Thou didst inspire Thy servant Frank Duff with a profound insight into the mystery of Thy Church, the Body of Christ, and of the place of Mary the Mother of Jesus in this mystery.
In his immense desire to share this insight with others and in filial dependence on Mary, he formed her Legion to be a sign of her maternal love for the world and a means of enlisting all her children in the Church’s evangelising work.
We thank Thee, Father, for the graces conferred on him and for the benefits accruing to the Church from his courageous and shining faith.
With confidence, we beg Thee that through his intercession, Thou mayest grant the petition we lay before you.
We ask too, that if it be in accordance with Thy will, the holiness of his life may be acknowledged by the Church for the glory of Thy Name, through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
– with ecclesiastical approval
