CHILE, Carmen M. Rogers. In the October 18th celebration, every Chilean Shrine received a “2014 Kit” that makes it possible for one to find the geographical point of the Original Shrine through a telescope faced towards the cradle of our beginnings. The children get enthusiastic and “those who are like children ” add up the kilometers that they conquer and offer in the Shrine, the Shrine symbolized by arrows with the patriotic colors: white, blue, and red.
In 2014 to renew together our Covenant of Love in Germany, every shrine, every wayside shrine, every home shrine, every family, and every corner of Chile where there is a Schoenstatt member conquers the kilometers that separate us from the Schoenstatt Valley. The capital of grace expresses itself in three forms: saying the Pilgrim’s prayer , which is equivalent to 1 km (blue arrow) complying with a single, personal, purpose of the family, has a value of 5 km. (red arrow), or attending a Covenant renewal each month on the 18th, advances one10km.
About 12,050 kilometers (or 7,767.14 miles) from the Original Shrine reads the poster under the indicator towards the “Urheiligtum” (German for Original Shrine), from the Cenacle Shrine of Providence it is easy to reach and, as a child, to get excited with the conquest , so that on that October 18, 2014 the entire Chilean family will physically or spiritually be present on the Esplanade with the Founding Father solemnly renewing their Covenant of love… and the smiling of the Mother Thrice Admirable who will tell each one of us: “Ego diligentes me diligo . (“I love those who love me.”)
