Marienberg Tag

Bündnisfeier Marienberg Bamberg
GERMANY, Renate Siebenkäs •  It is Covenant Day at Easter time, and it is Covenant Day in times of war and civil war. When has the reading from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 8:26-40) had such a direct reference to the times: “An angel of the Lord said to Philip: Arise and go south on the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza”. Fr. Andreas Hornung picks this up at the Covenant celebration at the Marienberg, Bamberg, and it is very moving because it names concrete destinations in theRead More

Frarnz Reinisch
GERMANY, Renate Siebenkäs •  Dear Father Franz Reinisch, with regret I realize today that I have not yet given you anything for your 120th birthday. Today is Valentine’s Day – Saint Valentine liked to give flowers from his garden. You are also a great flower lover, especially the roses have done it to you – with their thorns. So today I give you roses hidden in the Lord’s Prayer! — The Martyr of the Month of February – Franz Reinisch You are looking at me as background from my laptopRead More
Franz Reinisch

Josef Bamberg
GERMANY, Renate Siebenkäs •  Today, on the Fourth of Advent, we look with the whole Church to St. Joseph. Quite wrongly, as it was said today in the Holy Mass in St. Hippolytus in Troisdorf, so often portrayed as an old man or unworldly baroque. Whoever is looking for a representation of St. Joseph that shows him dynamically and as a man, father, and craftsman, will find what he is looking for in the Schoenstatt shrine of the Bamberg diocese on the Marienberg near Scheßlitz. And here, a few weeksRead More
Tabor-Heiligtum auf dem Marienberg
GERMANY, Peter Hagmann • Our time is characterized by individual concepts of life – we find it important to create connections and relationships between all the men’s communities of Schoenstatt (… and perhaps beyond?). For us, “Marienberg” is the symbol and place of our founder’s “vision” of a new Christian social order through the man ‘Puer et Pater’. Therefore, the invitation to the “Marienberg – Forum”. — “What is the “Marienberg?” – Probably not only Schoenstatters from outside Germany are asking themselves now. Marienberg is the mountain, or more precisely,Read More
