Fr. Heinrich Walter. The dispatch of this letter has been held up because it took longer than expected to get the contract signed, and the publication had to be agreed with both the Pallottine and Schoenstatt authorities.

Agathe Hug. A woman was at the door of my gynecology office, and she was looking at the picture of the MTA that hangs there with awe. The picture is adapted to a modern gynecology office. Through the partially opened door, I observed how she took out a piece of paper from her purse and wrote something. Since she was my next patient, I asked her to enter saying: "I am sorry, I had to interrupt you meditation." "Yes, she said, it is a wonderful picture. In fact, I have copied the phrase that is below it. I believe it is the name of the store where it was bought or the name of the artist. I will look for it on the Internet." Whew! ...I thought, I do not remember what is written! How embarrassing, I pass by the picture a thousand times, I see the MTA, and everything that surrounds the picture a thousand times, and I do not know what is written on it. But I am sure that it is not the name of the artist or the name of the store. But I did not mention this to the patient, and I talked to her about her visit. Later I sneaked a peek at what she had written: MPHCEV (the Blessed Mother will take perfect care and She will triumph). Oh! I knew that this is what was written, but I had forgotten.

ARGENTINA, Marinés and Mario Martínez. In Paraná, the capital of Entre Rios Province, the Schoenstatt Family once again committed to "row into the sea" of Family Missions, taking the message of hope and joy of living Christ's Gospel and the love of the Blessed Mother to the communities living in Brugo, Piragua and Puerto Vibora (the last two are extensive rural colonies).

Fr. José María García. Dear Friends,
Filled with great gratitude for all the life and all the expectations that have been generated around the jubilee of our international Family, and at this moment when my contribution to our common pilgrimage has to change, I want to turn to you all via our media – our international page and our Jubilee Newsletter.

Fr. Heinrich Walter. Dear Schoenstatt Family on our pilgrimage to the jubilee of the covenant of love,
Today I want to inform you about something that was already passed on the people with the main responsibility for the Schoenstatt Movement on our Covenant Day, as well as to Team 2014. It presents a challenge to us all.

Fr. José María García - official Newsletter 2014/3. The Cardinals of our Church are meeting today, 17 February, in the new Synod Hall in the Vatican for a day of prayer and reflection on the subject of "the proclamation of the Gospel today, between Missio ad gentes (Mission to all people) and new evangelisation". At the same time we are receiving the third of our information and motivational newsletters for our great "pilgrimage to the Original Shrine on 18 October 2014, which is open to all", as the Message 2014 stated, because we know that "places and times have the character of sacramentals" for us.

Agathe Hug/org. The scant snow crackled beneath people's feet as they move quickly and are wrapped up well against the cold. Although we were praying in covenant with Russia, we were not in Siberia, but in Schoenstatt, at fourteen degrees below zero. Of course, the Russians, especially in Siberia, do not care about our complaints about the "Siberian cold". However the circumstances in Schoenstatt were already a bit too cold.

PERU, Queca Espinoza. During the 99th Ordinary Assembly of Bishops from Peru, the Metropolitan Archbishop from Ayachucho and Military Bishop, Salvador Piñeiro García-Calderón was elected as the new president of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference for the term of 2012-2015. He will replace Bishop Miguel Cabrejos. Bishop Pedro Barreto was also elected as vice-president and Bishop Javier del Río as second vice-president. It is very good news for the Schoenstatt Family in Peru, since Bishop Piñeiro has always extended his hand to and collaborated with the Movement. He has been in the Original Shrine, and he has prayed at the Father and Founder's tomb.
