Hey, maybe it was you that sent me to her
laughs. I was trying to remember and had deleted all my PM’s.
I have one coming

There is nothing posted on the site about what is expected in terms of daily or weekly requirements out of members. The Four Bearings and Six Traits are well documented, in detail, but there isn’t a roadmap that tells a lay person what is expected. For example, the T.O. Carmelites and T.O. Franciscans each require 30 minutes of prayer daily, if I have my facts straight. The T.O.C. has a requirement for Little Offfice of the BVM or Divine Office and a strong recommendation for daily mass, among others.
This is the kind of info I was looking for on the Opus Sanctum Angelorum. I’m wondering if the requirements are the same for the most part, adding the Four Bearings and Six Traits to work on.?.
As I stated a beautiful order but when my sister went away to the convent I was away from the church.
Years later I went to Portugal and saw the beauty of the order and wonderful holy priests.
But I realized in returning what a sinner I really was. I did not feel like I was ready for an order with so many holy people. The Legion took me as I am a sinner that has to go to confession a lot and learn daily to carry my cross. I am sure in her order that they work the same way. But I was called to help the Legion. My sister who works with them has a son that went to Poland to become a priest. So I am sure God calls us all to where we need to be.

I suppose I could. I was viewing the website and they provide a list of suggestions on how one could pray for their adopted priest.

Or if all else fails you can email Sister Maria Gemma at this email address.

What I was getting out of the website was that it was aimed at those who have fallen away or are in danger of falling away. Is this true or did I misunderstand?.
I was asked for a list of seminarians and always send requests of priests that I know personally. Prayer helps both those who are in danger as well as strengthening those in their vocations who have to deal in our world every day.
Lux_et_veritas:
And, with regards to laity, is it considered an actual order like a T.O. or an apostolate? From what I understand even priests are members of apostolates no? ?.
I believe they are still working on the laity and there involvement. I help where I can (like helping them to sell the beautiful crucifixes, donations, etc… One of my other sisters does all there mailings. The prayer is mailed to you with the name of a priest to pray for the entire year. From what I have seen they have more apostalates than rules for a third degree order. But as I stated I am unsure on rules. I know that I made my promise to the guardian angel. The priests give retreats and beautiful talks.
