The Knight of Mary must: * develop a spirit of prayer; * assist at Mass and receive Communion every day, if possible; * practice the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity, and * observe the Ten Commandments; * recite the rosary each day, the fifteen decades if possible; * do at least fifteen minutes of spiritual reading daily; * perform well the duties of his/her state; * look to his/her interior reform. :-)
