World Sodality Federation

  We present here the scarfes used by some sodalities around the world. (Quintas Quessongo, Angola)   Greetings, Congregated Brothers. Today I share with you photographs of Our Marian Congregations in Angola. These belong to the south of Angola, specifically in the Diocese of Namibe, a province in the south of Angola. As you can see in the images, the young people gathered here use the scarf as a symbol of their commitment to Mother Beloved, Virgin Mary. These Symbols differentiate between blue for young congregants and green for beginners, that is, aspirants. Ribbons with the medal are only given to the elderly, especially those who are already married. There are young Congregates who also receive a ribbon, but it is rare, only in cases where the young man is married and has a certain reputation and maturity.                     (Thomas Murphy, Ireland)  We also have green ribbons for aspirants and blue ribbons for members... but we must all be very old because we all get medals!

How to show the world the sodalities of Our Lady through just a symbol?

The Brazilian badge [1] emerged in Rio de Janeiro (RJ) in the 1920s by drawing a carioca Marian Sodalist. How are Sodalists Marian Mary Queen of soldiers, knights are also hers. It is only natural that the format was a medieval shield. Was topped by three points, symbolizing the three cardinal virtues. Format gave his nickname by locals: the “ escudinho ” (the Little Badge).

We've just started a international whatsapp group for Marian congregates! (also known as 'Our Lady sodalists')  We will present, in the next posts of this blog, messages there published. This group  was born, in the first place, from the desire to gather informally, at a world level, members of the different Marian congregations dispersed throughout the world. That communion had been possible with the World Federation, which however was suppressed in 1982, being renamed as " World Community " . From that time on, we were (in practical terms) restricted to national circles. Nowadays, however, with the availability of so many real-time interactive social resources, it is already possible for us to congregate on a global scale. That's how, in November/2019, we met the sodalist Thomas Murphy, from Ireland, who presents the program " Sodality of Hour Lady Radio Hour " , on Radio Maria Ireland (see the respective podcasts page ).
