From an early age his one ambition was to be an Irish Christian Brother. He entered the order at thirteen years of age, but the doctors decided that he would hardly be able to stand up to the rigours of religious life. Returning home dejected, he later joined the Legion of Mary' where he realised his true vocation. He volunteered to go as envoy to South America, into a vast territory that included South Argentina, Ecuador, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia. Here he did great work amongst the people and glowing reports were circulated about him. His days, weeks, months and years abroad were packed with activity. Alfie's apostolic zeal helped him to reach objectives which could be called superhuman, even for a long and rich life. It is difficult to keep pace with his travels. Yet everywhere the branches of the Legion he established are flourishing and bear witness to his sound vision and practical outlook. On one hand it seemed as if Alfie knew that he had not much time for his life's work and that he must accomplish in a few years what others might do in decades; but on the other hand the killing pace of his work may well have contributed to his untimely end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54476686393671,"sku":"20260726-108","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/51B6rqrsBLL.jpg?v=1785495795","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/alfie-lambe-legion-envoy","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
