during meetings, all the prayers of the tessera are said. the sessions start out with the introductory prayers to the holy spirit and to mary. they include five decades of the rosary. the next part of the session includes a spiritual reading and administrative matters. the members tell briefly how they fulfilled their tasks assigned to them at the previous session. they also discuss and/or read a chapter from the "handbook of the legion". then, the "catena legionis" is prayed, and the spiritual director or, if absent, the president holds a short sermon about spiritual matters ("allocutio"). finally, the new tasks for the legionaries are distributed. each meeting ends with the concluding prayers of the "tessera" and a prayer for duff's beatification.
