CHILE/MEXICO/ALEMANIA, Maria Fischer • Conference planning, translations, coordination, discussions via Whatsapp between Chile, Mexico and Germany was done with great effort, terrific anticipation, and considerable sacrifice. Now, on the morning of Mary’s Nativity, everything that was humanly possible to prepare for the launching of the first Marriage Strengthening with Schoenstatt in Germany had been done. What remained was to place it in Mary’s hands and to crown her as Queen of Marriage Strengthening in Germany. They were nine couples from Chile and Mexico, who met at nine o’clock on thisRead More
By Maria Fischer • It is a sunny Saturday unlike most lately at the Original Shrine. While a group of German pilgrims pass through the Holy Door of the Original Shrine and celebrate their Mass, a large group of young pilgrims approach, and stay on the grounds for almost an hour, in the sun, listening to Sr. Andrea Narvaéz’ explanations. “Their Mass will be at 3:45 p.m.” Hilde Fellhofer, from Austria, explains. She and her husband Herbert are substituting for the sacristans of the Original Shrine during vacation. “Today isRead More
GERMANY, from Maria Fischer • “Everyday life has started again. Trust in GOD helps us to dare to move into the future strengthened by the pilgrimage graces”, Werner Philipps wrote in the Whatsapp-Chat of the Team of Trust in GOD. For days after the end of the pilgrimage on Saturday 6 August, the team was still busy exchanging photos and experiences. The end? Not really. “We could say that the World Youth Day begins today and continues at home tomorrow, because that is where Jesus wants to meet you. TheRead More
WYD2016 ORIGINAL Shrine, by Maria Fischer • On Thursday, 21 July, I approached the place that is so precious to every Schoenstatter with an envelope containing more than a 1,000 letters, written over the last few weeks, to the Blessed Mother in the Original Shrine. It was a sunny and peaceful day, although youth groups on their pilgrimage toward World Youth Day in Krakow should already have been there. But it was just the opposite– no one was around the Original Shrine. Petitions and encounters How much love, how muchRead More
Two weeks after the flood: An interview with the Rector of the Marienau, Fr Egon M. Zillekens • The water has gone, so has the mud, all the furniture and equipment on the lower ground floor has gone to be recycled, and the guests are still welcome to come! Two weeks after the floods of the Wambach inundated the Original Shrine, the meadows and streets around, and above all the somewhat lower-lying area of the Marienau, which was completely flooded, Fr Egon M. Zillekens answered our questions as to howRead More
By Fr Egon M. Zillekens, Rector, and Maria Fischer • The pictures of the floods threatening the Original Shrine, and Msgr Peter Wolf’s courageous rescue operations, are still fresh in the minds – and on Saturday, 25th June, the Wambach again broke its banks after cloudbursts, but this time it was worse than before. Within minutes a brown, muddy mess poured from the Wambach valley along the roads leading to the Original Shrine. The water was knee-high in front of the Old House, and poured into the Original Shrine, reachingRead More
ORIGINAL SHRINE, by Msgr Peter Wolf DD • Picture of the floods at the Original Shrine have made their rounds of the social media since Monday evening. Msgr Peter Wolf tells us what happened and why he got wet feet, while the Original Shrine remained relatively dry. When I returned from an outside engagement towards 6 p.m. I saw at the crossroads to the Original Shrine that brown water was shooting up from a drain through which the Wambach brook normally flows and making its way to the Original Shrine.Read More
By Maria Fischer • It is a spring day in the Schoenstatt valley, with blue skies, bright sunshine, and intense natural colors that only happen in Germany this time of the year. It is a very peaceful day; as I walked to the Original Shrine, I only saw a couple and much later, a small group of Sisters of Mary. However, before passing through the Door of Mercy, I took some photos, and I sent them via Whatsapp to some Ecuadorians, with the simple caption: “Praying for Ecuador.” I didRead More
Schoenstatt Institute of Diocesan Priests, by Klaus Rennemann and Oskar Bühler • The Fifth General Congress of the Schoenstatt Institute of Diocesan Priests opened with a common Holy Mass in the Original Shrine on Sunday, 17 January 2016. Thirty-four delegates from the eight Regions of the worldwide community, as well as two appointed members from the Philippines, will now meet from 16-30 January for the first session on Mount Moriah. A first: Opening of the Congress in the Original Shrine Besides the five German Regions (to which the members fromRead More

However during the days before Christmas, a true avalanche of comments arrived that concern us and challenged our commitment of taking our readers’ dialogue seriously, who we always see as collaborators since they contribute their interest, time and also their questions and comments. It is about the Original Shrine’s door– a door that on 13 December opened as aRead More
