The most beautiful thing God made – so the Bible tells us – was the family

FRANCIS IN THE UNITED STATES • Life enkindles life. A key expression by Fr. Kentenich, not based only on education, but also pedagogy, and of course, communication. That is the difference between the communication of life, which is what interests people, and institutional communication that serves only those who publish it. Life enkindles life. Francis shows this with each word, each gesture, but above all, in moments of real, authentic testimony (as we know, not everything that calls itself testimony is really this) that compel him set aside his preparedRead More

We can imagine what Joseph must have been thinking. How is it that the Son of God has no home?

FRANCIS IN THE UNITED STATES • From the great speech to the1 United States Congress to homeless people. “The images of Francis on the TV here show how much he is in contact with the people,” commented Claudia Echenique from Argentina during Pope Francis’ visit to the United States. “Jesus keeps knocking on our door in the faces of our brothers and sisters,” said the Pope in his meeting with homeless people at the Charitable Centre of St. Patrick’s Parish in Washington. “You make me think of Saint Joseph. YourRead More

“The holy and faithful People of God are not afraid of losing their way; they are afraid of becoming self-enclosed, frozen into élites, clinging to their own security”

FRANCIS IN THE UNITED STATES • His first Mass in the United States. In Spanish. A very festive liturgy and the Holy Father won everyone over with his simplicity, humility, his clarity, and politeness in saying what he thinks. “The holy and faithful People of God are not afraid of losing their way; they are afraid of becoming self-enclosed, frozen into élites, clinging to their own security. They know that self-enclosure, in all the many forms it takes, is the cause of so much apathy.” Pope Francis called for aRead More

The “revolution of tenderness

FRANCIS IN CUBA – MISSIONARY OF MERCY • Pope Francis recalled that the soul of Cuba, which “neither disgrace nor poverty were ever able to crush the faith” and challenged the people of Cuba to “live the revolution of tenderness like Mary,” during the Mass he celebrated at the Shrine to Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre. Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre is the Patroness of Cuba and is considered by believers and non-believers as a “symbol of what it is to be Cuban.” According to theRead More

Over here the Pope revolutionized us: Youths from Mission Cuba at Francis’ visit to Holguín

CUBA, by Juan Vicente Escobar, Misión Cuba of the Chilean Boys’ Youth, relating how they experienced the Pope’s Francis’ visit to Holguín • Over here the Pope revolutionized everyone. When he arrived in Cuba, the parish bells rang and the entire community saw his arrival on Fr. Bladimir’s television. The youths departed Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. We traveled in three buses, and there were about 120 youths, who were picked up on the way because they were from the entire province. It was very tiring, but the atmosphere wasRead More

Let us gaze upon the Lord in prayer, in the Eucharist, in Confession, in our brothers and sisters, especially those who feel excluded or abandoned

FRANCIS IN CUBA – MISSIONARY OF MERCY • In Holguín, the easternmost part of Cuba, Pope Francis celebrated the second large mass of his apostolic visit to the island, at Plaza de la Revolución. Holguín – the third largest city in Cuba and which has never had a papal visit – received the Pontiff with great enthusiasm. Pope Francis’ homily at the mass celebrated at Plaza de la Revolución in Holguín (21 September 2015) We are celebrating the feast of the apostle and evangelist Saint Matthew. We are celebrating theRead More

Each son or daughter of a given country has a mission, a personal and social responsibility

FRANCISCO in the USA, schoenstatt.org with press agencies • A challenging historical conference from a Church that sets out to encounter those who control the destiny of the planet and of millions of people. It was a conference filled with political impact similar to the visits to Strasbourg and Paraguay, in an encounter with those who build society. The address was broadcast live in full around the world, not only in the church media but also on TN24 in Argentina and Phoenix in Germany. For the first time, a Pope spokeRead More

Dream that with you the world can be different. Dream that if you give your best, you are going to help make this world a different place

POPE FRANCIS IN CUBA – MISSIONARY OF MERCY • The Pope left the cathedral in Havana and went to the Félix Varela Cultural Centre, where thousands of young people were waiting for him under a heavy rain. Catholics, members of other faiths, non-believers….and Francis once again improvised, this time around two concepts: dreams and hope. Complete text of Pope Francis at the Félix Varela Cultural Centre You are standing up and I am sitting. How rude! But you know why I am sitting; it is because I was taking notesRead More

“Where there is mercy, the Spirit of Jesus is there; where there is rigor, his ministers alone are there”

FRANCIS IN CUBA – MISSIONARY OF MERCY • On the second day of his visit to Cuba, Pope Francis improvised an address to the bishops and the religious, calling for “poverty and mercy.” Taking up the theme of the sermon in the Mass, from disinterested service instead of service of the other and also of one’s own misery, he emphasized the service that many missionaries had carried out in the Caribbean island. He thanked them for this service, particularly toward the little ones, the neediest. “There are pastoral services whichRead More

Looking Back on Pope Francis’ Message to the Schoenstatt Family — Part 2: Pedagogy and Our Mother as educator

Sarah-Leah Pimentel, South Africa •   A Christian does not have the right to be an orphan…we have a Mother. For me, this is probably the most powerful sentence of the entire message that Pope Francis shared with the Schoenstatt Family last year. We have a Mother Sometimes it is very easy to feel abandoned. When a company closes down and the workers are retrenched. A mother whose child has grown apart from the family circle and never comes home to visit. That same child who turned his or herRead More

About schoenstatt.org

Connecting Schoenstatters

We offer here a selection of articles from schoenstatt.org, in English. Schoenstatt.org as such is available in Spanish, Portuguese, and German.

Our mission is to serve the life of the International Schoenstatt family and the Church by promoting bonds of solidarity - covenant culture - and offering this service as a testimony - culture of encounter.

In all our actions, we daily hear the echoes of the words given to us by Pope Francis during the audience on 25 October 2014, "a culture of encounter is a covenant culture that creates solidarity."

About Schoenstatt

Schoenstatt is an ecclesial Movement, where everyone, each according to his individual vocation and united in covenant, serves the Church and its mission and the world God has entrusted to us.

The core of Schoenstatt's foundation is the covenant of love with Mary, the Mother of God.

This covenant of love generates culture and covenant culture is the unique expression of our way of life and work, our attachment to God, to people, to nature and culture, to the Church and the world, which always departs from the covenant of love.

Schoenstatt's commitment to this covenant culture inspires it to go out from the shrines to the existential peripheries to "sanctuarize" the world, as Pope Francis says.
