I don't know how I got the wrong day. I was sure I was in the 30th week and all readings have been II readings.

Are these readings for saints?

LEGION OF MARY

Like many another great principle, the apostolate itself is something cold and abstract. Hence there is a very real danger that it may not exercise an appeal, so that the laity does not respond to the high destiny which has been held out to it, and, worse still, may be demmed to be incapable of responding. The disastrous sequel would be that the effort to make the laity play its proper and indispensable partin the battle of the Church would have to be abandoned.

But, in the words of one qualified to judge, Cardinal Riberi, formerly Apostolic Delegate to missionary Africa and later Internuncio to China:

The Legion of Mary is apostolic duty decked out in attractive and alluring form; throbbing with life so that it wins all to it; undertaken in the manner stipulated by Ope Pius XI, that is, in dependenceon the Virgin Mother of God; insistent on quality as the foundation of membership and even as the key to numerical strength; safeguarded by plenteous prayer and self-sacrifice, by exact system, and by complete co-operation with the priest. The Legion of Mary is a miracle of these modern times."

P. 61, Legio Mariae

Thirtieth week is correct. Different cycle perhaps?
