"For Frank the universal call to holiness necessarily includes the universal call to evangelization or mission. There is endless joy in being an instrument, with God’s grace, in bringing even one soul to Heaven. Frank sought to bring all souls to Heaven or at least as many as possible. I think it could be argued that his desire for the salvation of souls was the deepest thrust in his spirituality."
On December 15, 1994, Pope John Paul II declared Edel Quinn “Venerable”
"It is certain that the Servant of God, Edel Mary Quinn, a secular virgin of the Legion of Mary practiced to a heroic degree the Theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity towards God and her neighbor and likewise the cardinal virtues of Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude."
"Alfie was sent by the Concilium in 1953 to develop the Legion of Mary throughout the South American countries. But he didn’t limit himself to setting up groups of the Legion. He did much more because of his burning zeal for souls. "
“Michael Ekeng's capacity for work was amazing. I have known him to start from Calabar at 1 A.M., travel to Oran 18 miles by canoe, go on from there to a Legion meeting 55 miles away, and after the meeting cycle on 12 miles to the nearest mission, fasting all the time, to receive Holy Communion. He was a fine example of what Bishop Moynagh called 'the wonderful effects of the Legion on the legionaries themselves."
"Mary had a deep, deep devotion to the Holy Spirit and Our Lady which obviously helped her over come the shock when Mr. Duff asked her to consider going as Legion Envoy to North America. She arrived in New York in 1934 and spent 12 years traveling throughout United States and Canada visiting priests, establishing praesidia and organizing the government of the Legion in that vast territory ."
"In 1946, Joaquina was appointed the first Envoy of the Legion of Mary to Latin America, beginning her work in Mexico and then traveling down to South America. She was bi-lingual. Speaking English and Spanish with equal fluency, she covered Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Brazil where she learned to speak Portuguese fluently. "
"Thomas Moorehead was an example for all men and women who wish to follow Christ. His path was that of our Lord’s Mother Mary. He was consecrated to Jesus through Mary, wore Mary’s brown scapular, prayed numerous rosaries every day, belonged to the Carmelite Third Order and was active in the Legion of Mary. But most of all Tommy showed us how to imitate our Blessed Mother’s virtues by his profound example."
