Quote of the week. I have been concerned about an idea for some time: Are we as a Schoenstatt family truly aware of the meaning of the pilgrimage toward 2014? Providence gives us the opportunity of being protagonists in the spiritual conquest of our Original Shrine. With much fire, much confidence, we propose to spread and to give this covenant culture that our Founding Father gave us.
We cannot affirm that the Shrine will be ours materially, but it can be in the hearts of everyone who has made an effort for it.
And in 2014, we could celebrate the rebirth of the Schoenstatt Family, united, in solidarity, and contributing its richness to the Church.
In this year of the missionary current, we are on fire and we offer the mission for the Original Shrine.
It is not a time to be lukewarm. It is a time to give ourselves for Schoenstatt, as a family. To unite in prayer, in the capital of grace, exercising a gentle ferocity. And She, our Mother, will know when it is time for the Shrine to be ours.

“It is clearly evident
from the various countries’ contributions
that the MTA is inviting us
to go on pilgrimage to the Original Shrine
on October 18, 2014.
All are welcome to participate in this pilgrimage.
The time and place hold sacramental value for us.”
(Message 2014)
