Joseph Kentenich taught us.  This is the trust in Divine Providence to which no Schoenstatt member can indifferent or apathetic given the events of the last few days.  Recently, Pope Francis also reminded us of the need for Christians to be concerned about the public good, the true meaning of political action.  What does God want to tell us in all this?  Read More

These are statements made in the previous week, they are words that inspire us to increasingly become missionary pilgrims who live in solidarity, as poor, joyful, open and simple Pilgrims – in and with the Church – and ask for renewal in the genuine spirit of the covenant. Without humility there is neither effective service, nor genuine renewal. Actually itRead More
