APPENDIX 1 PAPAL LETTERS AND MESSAGES 335
understand how much the apostolate must draw its
inspiration from Her, who gave Christ to the world, and was
so closely associated to Him in the work of redemption.
His Holiness, therefore, is happy to rely on this spirit of the
Legion, which has already trained in every part of the world
great numbers of ardent apostles and heroic witnesses to
Christ especially in those places where the Faith is attacked
and persecuted.
In the conviction that the results already achieved will not
decelerate but rather constantly increase the energies and the
apostolic efforts of all the Legionaries, the Holy Father
expresses to you and to all your collaborators His deep
gratitude; and He exhorts you all to continue with the same
love for the Church, ever in closest dependence from the
Bishops in the works of the apostolate and in a spirit of active
collaboration with all other Catholic associations.
Confiding the numerous ranks of your members to the
maternal protection of Our Blessed Lady, the Sovereign
Pontiff lovingly bestows upon you, upon each and every
legionary, their directors and their activities, His special
paternal Apostolic Blessing.
With the assurance of my cordial esteem and regard, I
remain

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Mr. FRANK DUFF
