By doing this you are helping to take in Pope Francis’ message more profoundly,” wrote Archbishop Emeritus, Robert Zollitsch, from Freiburg, Germany in mid-March, after receiving some German edition copies. Auxiliary Bishop, Michael Gerber was also happy to be able to give a couple of copies. A few days later, on 25 March, in Encarnación: Bishop Francisco Javier Pistilli, a Schoenstatt Father, gladly received the copyRead More
ARGENTINA, Fr. Guillermo Carmona, National Director of the Schoenstatt Movement/Argentina • Dear brothers and sisters in the Covenant of Love, The motto for the year invites us “to go out to the encounter.” A first assumption to achieve it is to cultivate closeness. We will talk about this in this Covenant of Love letter. Nobody goes out to the encounter without not first getting “close” to others. 1. The source which nourishes our closeness is the experience of Mary who is always close. She goes out in seach for usRead More
Today Martín Pereira, from Asunción, Paraguay, a missionary of the Schoenstatt Rosary Campaign, Family Federation answered • What is your dream for this Schoenstatt in who we are and where we find ourselves in the church and in the world, and in our mission? I see a Movement that is closer to the people, a pilgrim movement that departs from the Shrine to the places of greatest need, I see a new life that begins among ourselves, with Schoenstatters, who are joyful and strengthened by the Covenant of Love with Mary,Read More
By Marité and Ramón Marini, Paraguay, Leaders of the Schoenstatt International Family Federation • We wanted to write this brief account to share of how the Holy Father generates positive attitudes in people with his simple testimony of daily life. Sometime ago we read that when Pope Francis was a bishop in Argentina, he had the habit of collecting the rubber bands that the person who brought the newspapers used; he would make a ball to leave for him close to the door. Each month as he paid him, heRead More

The value and importance of grandparents in the family was the theme of Pope Francis' catechesis at last Wednesday's general audience in St. Peters Square. First of all, Pope Francis said that he identified with the elderly because he is the same age as them. "When I was in the Philippines," he said jokingly, "the Filipino people greeted me, saying: 'Lolo Kiko,' – that is, Grandfather Francis," and emphasized that even though society has a tendency of casting aside the elderly, God doesn't do this. On the contrary, he callsRead More
VATICAN, Sr. M. Elizabet Parodi. I've just returned from St. Peter's Basilica. It was packed, as it always is when the Holy Father celebrates a liturgy. Today, two years since he started his pontificate, Pope Francis presided over a penitential liturgy. During the homily, in which he spoke about how God never tires of forgiving us, he announced that he had made a decision: with words that seemed to come from the depths of his heart he said that he was proclaiming a 'Holy Year of Mercy' which will beginRead More
