Pray for me – this 17 December and perhaps every day

PRAY FOR ME, mda. On 17 December Pope Francis turns 78 – a few days after the 45th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, which took place on the Third Sunday of Advent. What do you give to a Pope for his birthday, which he described as “a completely normal day”, a Pope who raffles his presents? You carry out his requests. Those who pay attention to what he says, or those who only took in the words he addressed to the Schoenstatt Movement during the audience on 25Read More

Teach us to uncover ourselves, to prostrate, give of self, listen and be silent, not be the centre, to make space for the beauty of God, the source of true joy

POPE FRANCIS IN ROME. On 8 December Pope Francis visited the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, the principal Marian shrine in Rome, which houses the picture of María Salus Populi Romani, before heading to Piazza di Spagna for the traditional veneration of the Immaculate Conception. He placed a flower offering at the feet of the monument dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The pontiff asked Mary to intercede for God's people to "go against the current" in the lead up to Christmas," asking her "to teach us to uncover ourselves, prostrate,Read More

The Pope calls for the Church to change its mentality and respect popular religiosity

FRANCIS IN ROME, VIS. On Thursday 27 November, Pope Francis received the participants of the Second International Pastoral Congress on the World's Big Cities, celebrated in Barcelona (Spain) on 24-26 November, at the Consistory Hall of the Apostolic Palace.  The Holy Father took advantage of the occasion to provide deeper insight into the four challenges and possible horizons for urban pastoral work, "the places where God has called us and the aspects to which I believe we should be paying special attention."  Read More

Text of Pope Francis’ Message to the Schoenstatt Movement now as PDF and soon as a book

EDITORS, mda. “Thank you. It is impossible for me to measure the work behind it,” Fr Egon Zillekens, Rector of the Marienau in Schoenstatt, remarked as he held the text of Pope Francis’ message to the Schoenstatt Movement. It had been designed by Franziska Thurm “in its reader, print and working form”. True! First of all there was the work of making the transcript – a task that was initially undertaken by the Spanish editors of Radio Vatican. Then the transcript had to be edited by collaborators of Schoenstatt.org inRead More

POPE FRANCIS. Pope Francis brought laughter to a group of young people gathered at the Vatican when he quoted a metaphor from Argentinean comedian, Luis Landriscina, about a “ham and cheese sandwich” to encourage these Christian youths to commit themselves to help people find their dignity again.Read More

Pope Francis raffles his gifts to help the poor

VATICAN. "Do not forget the poor” was the biblically inspired phrase Cardinal Claudio Hummes whispered in Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s ear, on the 13th of March 2013, after the conclave. Even now like a providential whisper of the mission of 266th Successor of Peter and which is translated into concrete deeds, these few simple words still resound in the mind of Pope Francis. On this particular occasion, the Bishop of Rome thinks about the poor in his own house. Some days ago, a newspaper of the Eternal City, Il Messaggero, announcedRead 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.
