The Characteristic Commitments of Its Spirituality
Leading the Faithful to Entrustment to Our Lady
From the very beginning of this Movement there was an awareness that the religious and faithful were being called to take part in it. In fact, the third commitment on the part of a priest of the M.M.P. is that of leading the faithful, entrusted to his pastoral care, to consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
"But these priests must now begin to act; through them I want to return to the midst of my faithful, because it is with them, gathered about my priests, that I want to form my invincible cohort." (November 1, 1973)
This explains why the M.M.P., which sprang up in the first place for priests, opens out also upon the vast world of the laity, thus giving rise to the Marian Movement.
