FRANCIS ON THE APOSTOLATE • On January 25, Pope Francis delivered his third Catechesis on the very Schoenstatt theme: “Passion for evangelization: the apostolic zeal of the believer” and presented Jesus as “master of proclamation”. For this, he reflected concretely on “the first proclamation of Jesus” when he preached in the synagogue of his town, Nazareth, and read a passage from the prophet Isaiah. Pope Francis identified the five elements that he considers essential: joy, liberation, light, healing and the ability to marvel at the works that God does. —Read More

Clowns on the Way

CHILE, Verónica Morandé • One of the activities for which, as the “Maria en el Camino” (Maria on the Way) Foundation in San Felipe, we are overflowing with joy has been the creation of the “Clowns on the Way” group. — A very valuable human team that has been created by Ingrid Cardona (Dr. Cri-Cri) a person of deep human warmth, who has been at the service of the foundation to transmit all our values and who together with the clowns on the journey (Dogtor, Dr. Menta, Dr. Yoyo, Dr.Read More
P. Antonio Cosp
PARAGUAY, Maria Fischer • Today, March 7, 2022, at 9:45 a.m., Father Antonio Cosp was called to the House of the Eternal Father.

There will be much, much to mention and there will be hundreds of stories, memories, moments that will come together in these phrases that he said so many times and that are titles of two books he wrote: “Life is a celebration” and “Nothing will take away my joy”. WeRead More

CRUZADA DE MARÍA, José Argüello • On the morning of 20 January, at 7:00 am, after reflecting on our Family’s second milestone, we departed on the Cruzada de María (Mary’s Crusade) from the Mendoza Shrine. After a few minutes of walking on this Saturday, we encountered a group of four young people in a car at a corner; they were returning from a Friday celebration. A girl sitting in the back seat said in an Argentinean accent: “Chee…look at them…why are they so serious? No one is laughing?” This simpleRead More
FRANCIS – EASTER 2017 • During Easter Sunday Mass celebrated in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis broke with tradition and gave a homily that reflected closely on the dramas at play in the world today: ” Let us think a little about our daily problems, the illnesses that each one of us or one of our family members have experienced,” Francis said, and then he asked: “What does the Church say to us today in the light of so many tragedies? Simply this: the stone that was rejected is notRead More

This same 2017 priestly ordination will bring the number of Nigerian Schoenstatt Fathers to twenty-five.Read More
Carlos E Barrio and Lipperheide, Lawyer- Coach, Argentina • Rejoice is the first word God directs to mankind in the Gospel.[1]  It is the first word he wants to give us.  He knows us and knows how much we need to feel welcomed, loved, and need to find meaning to our lives and work. But it seems that we have largely lost the joy. We experience work as a meaningless activity, often feeling depressed and emptied of life meaning. The painful side of work dominates the contemporary productive process, emptied ofRead More

Missions of joy

PARAGUAY, Fabián Daniel López Cuevas • I remember that Pope Francis once said: “Do not be men and women of sadness: a Christian can never be sad! Never give way to discouragement! Ours is not a joy born of having many possessions, but from having encountered a Person: Jesus, in our midst; it is born from knowing that with him we are never alone, even at difficult moments…” (March 24, 2013). I found this kind of joy in Christians in these missions. I like to call the Ciudad del EsteRead More
