Francis in my Mexico: Mexican Schoenstatters’ Testimonies (3)

FRANCIS IN MEXICO, by Maricarmen Cereceda • When I found out that Pope Francis would arrive to Morelia, I made plans to go see him, since my son lives there and this would make things easier. I was fortunate to obtain tickets to be at the stadium, where he would be with the youths, and although I am elderly, I was enthusiastic to hear his message. That day I waited from 7:00 am, although I knew that he would arrive at 4:00 pm. His Holiness’ message to the youths leftRead More

Francis in my Mexico: Testimonies from Mexican Schoenstatters (2)

FRANCIS IN MEXICO, by Marcelo José Garza Gómez (2) • On Tuesday, 16 February, I had the opportunity, along with another fifty youths, to participate in the encounter Pope Francis had with the youths of Mexico. The experience was indescribable, tickets were obtained exactly one week before the encounter, and along with twenty other crazy Schoenstatt Youths from Monterrey, we traveled all of Monday night to arrive at the event. Upon entering the stadium everything changed We arrived in the morning, and it was a long wait, the sun wasRead More

Francis in my Mexico: Testimonies of Mexican Schoenstatters (1)

FRANCISCO in MEXICO, Mass at Guadalupe by Josefina Martínez • I am very happy to have this opportunity to relate my encounter I had with the Holy Father. Everything was a gift from God and the Blessed Mother. I was able to enter the Basilica of Guadalupe’s atrium for the Mass the Holy Father celebrated there on Saturday, 13 February. I did not have a ticket to enter, and had ardently prayed to the Blessed Mother that she would give me the blessing to attend. The previous day, I notRead More

“Works of mercy on the road of the Jubilee”

FRANCIS IN ROME – HOLY YEAR OF MERCY • Pope Francis entitled his Lenten Message for the Jubilee of Mercy with the words of Jesus: “I desire mercy and not sacrifice” (Mt 9:13), highlighting works of mercy on the road of the Jubilee. “Mary, the image of a Church which evangelizes because she is evangelized,” “God’s covenant with humanity: a history of mercy,” and “Works of mercy” are the three points in his pontifical message. “The poor have a special experience of God’s mercy,” says Francis. Through the “missionaries ofRead More

“The Lord continually offers us his pardon”

FRANCIS IN ROME – HOLY YEAR OF MERCY • The General Audience on 3 February, a week before the start of Lent and just before his visit to Mexico, Francis moved through St. Peter’s Square greeting the pilgrims accompanied by two children whom he invited to climb onto the popemobile. The Holy Father dedicated the General Audience to divine justice and perfect mercy, as well as forgiveness. “This is a difficult journey. It requires that those who have been wronged be ready to forgive and desire good and salvation forRead More

POPE’S VIDEO – INTENTIONS FOR FEBRUARY • “This month I make a special request: that we may take good care of creation – a gift freely given – cultivating and protecting it for future generations.” This is Pope Francis’ prayer in the video message with his prayer intention for February. “Believers and unbelievers agree that the hearth is our comment heritage, the fruits of which should benefit everyone.” Pope Francis says that in the world we live, “relationship between poverty and the fragility of the planet requires another way ofRead More

As if spoken to us: Francis on jealousy

Francis week by week (2) • This week’s “as if spoken to us” message is taken from the homily during the morning Mass at Santa Marta on 21 January 2016 (full sermon here). This week, we read and listen to the message given to the participants at the Mass by the “parish priest of Rome” (as Osservatore Romano has chosen to call these Masses filled with practical and simple messages), as if it were spoken to us as a federal and international movement of men and women, lay and consecratedRead More

The shrine is the house of forgiveness

FRANCIS IN ROME – HOLY YEAR OF MERCY• We don’t know how many of the rectors and workers of the Schoenstatt shrine ministry attended and heard Pope Francis speak about welcoming the pilgrim: “It is important for pilgrims who cross the threshold of the shrine to feel treated more as family members than guests. They must feel at home, awaited, loved and looked upon with eyes of mercy.” This is one of the messages that Pope Francis gave to more than 3,000 participants of the Jubilee for Shrines and Pilgrimages,Read More

Falling ever more in love with the Lord Jesus

FRANCIS IN ROME • At noon in Rome, Pope Francis appeared in the window of the studio in the Apostolic Palace – as he does every Sunday – to pray the Angelus, which he dedicated to the gospel reading about the Wedding Feast of Cana, taken from the liturgy of the day May the Mother of Jesus help us to “rediscover with faith the beauty and richness” of the Eucharist and the other sacraments that “render present God’s faithful love for us,” Pope Francis prayed at the start of theRead 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.
