Goya missionaries renew their “yes”

ARGENTINA, Inés Petiti •

The renewal of the missionary commitment was held on 8 December at Goya’s Our Lady of Itatí parish.

The missionaries of the Schoenstatt Rosary Campaign from Goya committed to walk with her for another year in a heavenly atmosphere characterized by the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and the gift of the start of the Year of Mercy.

This beautiful ceremony was held during the 8:00 p.m. Holy Mass. Fr. Orlando celebrated before Jesus and the Blessed Mother of Itatí, who sheltered all their children in the merciful paternity of God the Father.

The yes that each missionary said before God and the Blessed Mother of Itatí implies the serious commitment of taking the Mother Thrice Admirable of Schoenstatt and her Son Jesus where she wants to go, placing themselves at her disposal as instruments in her hands.

In a church that was filled at the beginning of the Year of Mercy, the pilgrims also honored Mother Correntina from Itatí with the promise to be faithful to this commitment.

18,000 Hail Marys– every rosary is a crown

Despite the rain, on 18 December, the pilgrims arrived very early to the wayside shrine to crown the Blessed Mother with twenty rosaries expressing their gratitude as her children.

Everyone offered personal helplessness, misery, sadness, lights and shadows, making a crown by imploring the “Nothing without You, nothing without us” prayer.

Every rosary is a crown for this Mother accompanied with a notecard that states the contributions to the capital of grace: I pray Mother! I offer you!

Once again, the missionaries renewed themselves as Mary and her Son’s instruments.
