OPENING OF THE KENTENICH YEAR – Fr. JUAN PABLO CATOGGIO • The Schoenstatt Movement all over the world opens a “Kentenich Year” today, September 15, 2017, in preparation of the 50th anniversary of its founder’s death. The emphasis is not put on the internal life of the Schoenstatt Family itself but rather outside, committing to share his charism and asking for the grace of apostolic zeal and fruitfulness in order to be creative and daring in the moment of sharing his message. “You’re aware that a charism is not aRead More
Fr. Guillermo Carmona • For our Schoenstatt Family, Father Kentenich is one of his most central truths – “a point of contact,” we say – along with the Blessed Mother and the Shrine. He is also an example of the “Covenant that transforms.” His life history could have transformed him into a bitter person, rancorous, and vindictive. He could have ended up depressed and tormented, like so many prisoners from the concentration camps, renouncing even the Church like those who suffer from the injustice and authoritarianism of some of itsRead More
CHILE, María de los Ángeles Miranda Bustamante • Embraces between Schoenstatters from different generations and cities were the beginning for the 70th anniversary celebration of the Movement’s Founding in Chile on that rainy 27th of June 1947, in the house on Pasaje Quinta # 28, on the Valparaiso plan. The Document signed by the Founder On that occasion, a group of ladies and Father Kentenich signed the Founding Document, where they committed themselves to always carry forth the founders’ ideal which called them to distinguish themselves from the masses whereverRead More
GERMANY, Josef Tasch • What, don’t you know Kentenich? The saying comes from a question, a song line – a motto for the youth vigil in Oberkirch. It is really understandable only in German, but the temptation to make it into a play of words has continued for decades. A great festival was celebrated 50 years ago in Oberkirch on June 18 for the occasion of the visit of Father Joseph Kentenich in the Schoenstatt center “Marienfried.” On this occasion, the Schoenstatt Youth uses the annual pillar festival in orderRead More
Interview with Msgr. Peter Wolf, Oberkirch, Germany Now into the heart of vibrant human life! Seize the opportunity with both hands! This seems to be more necessary today than if we can talk with all sorts of abstract theories about things. Go into practical life! When we take hold of it, it is there in all its fullness. From an editorial meeting of schoenstatt.org? It could be, but it isn’t. Pope Francis to cardinals or priests? It would fit, but it also isn’t. A good translation of an appeal during Read More
CHILE, Verónica Ciudad Pap • “Here, in this corner of the world, the beauty of this sea and the beauty of these people, of these hills, of these children, has overwhelmed me. Here is the force of life I have been looking for, simple and profound faith, the fire of passionate love without limits, a strong and sacrificial surrender, which totally consumes itself for the Family and for the mission.” (JK) In this time of grace of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Apostolic Schoenstatt Movement inRead More
CHILE, Sr. Jimena Alliende • At mid-morning on 23 June 1947, Father Joseph Kentenich, Founder of the Schoenstatt Family, accompanied by Sr. M. Ursula and Sr. M. Cándida, boarded a plane from Buenos Aires bound for Santiago, Chile. While crossing the Andes mountain range, the plane suddenly fell into an air pocket. Upon recovering altitude, Father Kentenich asked the Sisters: OK…what did you think? Did you get scared? Did you feel anxious? No…responded the Sisters … anxiety…not any…..It went so quickly down that….. Why not? Asked Father. Because we wereRead More
PARAGUAY, Sonia and José Zaracho • After a great deal of contemplating as to how we could weave together some lines about everything that she has taught us, transmitted, and shown us about our Father and Founder… today, almost a month since her visit, I can transcribe what Maria Fischer’s visit, on 13 March, meant to the Diocese of Encarnación. For the third consecutive year, her visits to our country have now become customary; Maria enters Paraguay at the same place, Posadas, Argentina, the place from which our Father andRead More
PARAGUAY, Horacio Chávez • Some months ago, Maria Fischer, a communicator and leader of the schoenstatt.org team, confirmed her visit to Paraguay. We contacted her to arrange a talk in Tupãrenda. There were great expectations about this event because of the proposed subject: “To see how you see and to speak like you speak; communicate heart to heart like Fr. Joseph Kentenich,” an excellent subject and a beloved speaker in Paraguay. Months of preparations and adjustments were made preceding the great day of 26 March. Very early that morning ourRead More
GERMANY, Sr. M. Elinor Grimm 75th Year Anniversary of Father Kentenich’s arrival to the Dachau Concentration Camp – March 13, 1942: On this occasion, a day’s event was offered at Dachau Memorial Center on Saturday, March 11. March 13, 1942 was the day when Father Kentenich arrived with the prisoner’s transport from Koblenz to Dachau concentration camp. We know there were unexpected clandestine encounters during his departure on March 11th, especially at the Koblenz train station. An evangelical supervisor from the Gestapo Jail, known as the “small messenger,” waited onRead More
