Grace which becomes commitment: Pope Francis’ first 100 days

mda. "We are only 100 days into this 'revolution of goodness.'  This was one of the headlines on 21 June, when almost every newspaper, website and television programme was talking about Pope Francis' first 100 days in office.  It has been 100 days since 13 March when he introduced himself to the world with words that caught everyone's attention:  "And now, we take up this journey: Bishop and People…A journey of fraternity, of love, of trust among us. Let us always pray for one another. Let us pray for theRead More

“Explain what you need to explain, but carry on…open doors, do something in the places where life cries out.”

ROMA, mda. Who is this Bergoglio who speaks so simply and naturally that everyone can understand him? Who is this Francis who sits among a group of people and speaks frankly and honestly and is not afraid of the truth, and refers to the Holy Spirit as his most obvious ally? "We need to allow ourselves to be guided by Him, even if He takes us along unchartered paths; we need to be transformed by Him so that our message is always the Word, accompanied by real life; a spiritRead More

Yesterday Cardinal Bergoglio, today his Holiness Francis

PARAGUAY, Father Antonio Cosp. On February 23rd, three days before traveling to Rome, thirty-five Schoenstatt Fathers of Father’s Region (Argentina, Italy, Nigeria, Paraguay and Uruguay) met with the Cardinal in the Curia of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires. I was grateful to con-celebrate with him for the first time in his cathedral. We came from Florencio Varela in different automobiles and at different times. He welcomed each group at the door, and he led us into a simple hall. There was a brief introduction, and he made himself available forRead 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.
