The term refers to the process of acquiring a digital copy of the Legion of Mary’s Tessera in Portable Document Format. The Tessera itself is a prayer leaflet containing the prayers and order of service for Legion of Mary meetings. Its availability in PDF format facilitates wider distribution and accessibility, particularly for members who may not have easy access to printed materials.
Providing a digital version offers numerous advantages, including cost-effectiveness, ease of storage, and environmental sustainability by reducing paper consumption. Historically, religious organizations have embraced technology to disseminate information and practices, and the availability of this prayer resource online reflects this trend. This allows members in geographically diverse locations to participate more easily and ensures uniformity in practice and prayer across different praesidia.
