In solidarity with the people of Garissa, Kenya

by Sarah-Leah Pimentel, Cape Town, South Africa • The silence of Holy Thursday descends upon us. The Church is empty as the Blessed Sacrament is taken to the Altar of Repose. The altar is stripped bare. The holy water is removed from the fonts. A sense of dread fills the air, because we know what is coming. We know that Christ will walk to Calvary tomorrow. For the sins of the world, he will be tortured and nailed to a Cross. He will die an agonizing death. And so weRead More

“This would also be good for us:” Kentenich Pedagogy for real life

by Martin Schiffl, from www.schoenstatt.at Eight Austrian couples received their diplomas signed by Bishop Klaus Küng, and Father Felix Stässle sent them forth.

They have applied this training in their own families, as well as in a project of their choice. The celebration’s guests manifested surprise and admiration, when the “instructors” presented their projects. Here and there anRead More

Three provinces sharing a daybreak together

Juan Barbosa. Madrugadores de tres provincias de Argentina se reunieron para celebrar en oración los dos años de aquel soplo del Espíritu Santo…la elección del Papa Francisco. Una propuesta audaz sumada al deseo ferviente de crecer en Comunidad, encuentra eco en muchas personas y el resultado es infalible: la máxima expresión del gozo en el corazón. La Rioja fue sede de esta “Madrugada Triprovincial” como la llamaron, y allí convergieron integrantes de las comunidades de Entre Ríos y de Córdoba (distantes 900 y 430 Km. respectivamente de esa Ciudad).Read More

Jesus is the great master of wasting time

By Maria Fischer. “Jesus was the master of time wasting, no? He wasted time to accompany, to allow consciences to mature, to heal, to teach…” This quote from Pope Francis’ message during the Jubilee audience on October 25th marked and touched the weekend of the International Kentenich Academy for executives. (IKAF). Wasting time, beginning with the arrival: the trip was longer, because of the amount of snowfall and more than one participant needed help on the last kilometer up the hill that leads to “Schönstatt auf`m Berg” [Schoenstatt on theRead More

In covenant solidarity with …Vanuatu, Syria, Iraq, Venezuela, Nigeria, Argentina, Chile, Ukraine

mda. “With pain, with great pain…” remarked Pope Francis during the Angelus on Sunday 15 March, “I learned about today’s terrorist attacks against two churches in Lahore in Pakistan that resulted in many deaths and injuries. These are Christian churches. Christians are being persecuted. Our brothers are spilling their blood just because they are Christians. Meanwhile, be assured of my prayers for the victims and their families. I ask the Lord, the source of all good, for the gift of peace and harmony for that country, and that this persecutionRead More

Schoenstatt’s Costa Rican pre-school, Jardín de María, opens

COSTA RICA, Rosa Lobo. Approximately five years ago, a group of Schoenstatt couples from San José, Costa Rica’s capital city, dreamed of carrying out a project that would provide an opportunity to educate children in Father Joseph Kentenich’s pedagogy. These families, who are trained in the field of education, felt the strong impulse to present Schoenstatt’s richness in the academic world and take it to the heart of the families. Mary is the Great Educator, and she not only forms her children, but through them, she reaches their homes asRead 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.
