INTERNATIONAL, mfa. “…and perhaps beyond”. These words of the Founding Document are continually and fully carried out by this extraordinary “highway of grace” manifested in the covenant with Lebanon motivated by the celebration of the Holy Mass “2014” in the Original Shrine on June 25, 2011.
Echoes of an article
Toufic LabakiToufic Labaki, who took the Pilgrim MTA from Argentina to Lebanon, informed more than fifty people and families about this celebration inviting them to unite spiritually to the Original Shrine. The unusual thing about this was that this news went to Chile, Colombia, different places in Argentina, Mexico, the United States, etc., since the Labaki family (and in Argentina also the Lávque, Labaké, Labaky) is a very large clan dispersed throughout the world.
The tally of visits of schoenstatt.org detected that this week the news was read by more than 400 people (or families, it was the second most visited).
Toufic Labaki began to receive responses, which she forwarded to the person to whom she had given the Pilgrim MTA. Therefore it became known that a family member and resident in Jujuy (Argentina) motivated by this Holy Mass in the Original Shrine and because of the present difficult situation in the Middle East (such as the events in Syria that is generating thousands of refugees in Lebanon) asked that a Holy Mass be offered for Lebanon in the basilica of San Salvador in Jujuy every Saturday including in October. The person also requested prayers from Saint Charbel (a Lebanese saint) and the Pilgrim MTA for peace in Lebanon and for its residents…Once contact was made with this lady, it was known that she does not know the Blessed Mother, so the next step would be to put her in contact with a missionary in Jujuy.
Gratitude: The Pilgrim MTA in Lebanon
Does not the need arise in the heart to sing with the Founding Father “Glory be joyfully given to the Father through Christ with Mary, highly praised in the Holy Spirit full of splendor from the universe now and in all eternity…?” (Heavenward p.50)
And it is also necessary to express continuous gratitude to all the people who have woven the network of schoenstatt.org with enormous sacrifice throughout ten years, and who continue with the same spirit…for the glory of God the Father and the unity of his family!
