FRANCIS IN MEXICO, by Marcelo José Garza Gómez (2) • On Tuesday, 16 February, I had the opportunity, along with another fifty youths, to participate in the encounter Pope Francis had with the youths of Mexico.

Upon entering the stadium everything changed We arrived in the morning, and it was a long wait, the sun wasRead More

We Christians can proclaim to all people the power of the Gospel by committing ourselves to sharing in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy

FRANCIS IN ROME • In light of the Week of Prayer for the unity of Christians which was celebrated from 18 to 25 January in many countries, Pope Francis dedicated his catechesis at the general audience in Paul VI Hall on Wednesday 20 January to the unity of Christians. The Holy Father highlighted that Catholics, Protestants and the Orthodox tradition share the same baptism which means that “that we are all sinners and need to be saved, redeemed, freed from sin.” Selfishness as a source of division, narrow mindedness andRead More

Pope raffles gifts to raise funds for refugees and the “homeless’

by Maria Fischer, with material from several agencies • “Do like the Pope, raise funds for the poor and for works at the service of others,” a German Schoenstatter commented during a dialogue about what to do for works of mercy during the Year of Mercy, not having time or a “concrete call from the periphery” in their surroundings. He is right, to give alms indirectly is a work of mercy, and furthermore, one of the very few, concrete works of apostolate mentioned in the statutes of the Schoenstatt ApostolicRead More

The shepherds and the magi, the simple and the learned

FRANCIS IN ROME • Epiphany of the Lord, “Christmas that reaches out” Francis recalled that on Christmas night, Jesus revealed himself to the shepherds, the first to bring a little warmth to that cold grotto. Then the Magi arrived from a faraway land, also mysteriously attracted by that Child. He added that the shepherds and the Magi are very different but they are united by the heavens, because they all cast their eyes to the sky, saw a sign, listened to his message and followed him. Fr. Joseph Kentenich oftenRead More

Francis: “We are called to overcome indifference that prevents solidarity”

FRANCIS IN ROME • “All of us are called to immerse ourselves in this ocean, to let ourselves be reborn, to overcome the indifference which blocks solidarity, and to leave behind the false neutrality which prevents sharing,” said Pope Francis as he presided at the Mass on 1 January on the feast of Mary, Mother of God and the 49th World Day of Peace in St. Peter’s Basilica. Then and before praying the Angelus, the pontiff invited the pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square to open their hearts, awakening careRead More

Holy Mother of God, Mother of Mercy

FRANCIS IN ROME, HOLY YEAR OF MERCY • “Don’t you have another question?” He also noticed that the goodbye was near and perhaps he wanted to give me the joy of enjoying this meeting to the last moment, because we knew that it would not happen again for some time. I went to interview him, but in the end it was he who gently took care that I could ask all of my questions…Trying to be creative for my last question, I told him somewhat abruptly: “Yes, Your Holiness. ThereRead More

Original Shrine: The opened Holy Door as a petition for a renewed Miracle of the Holy Night in the sense of a merciful heart

From Maria Fischer • “The door is a symbol of Advent: The Lord is coming to us; we want to open the door to him and welcome him.” These were the words of Fr Juan Pablo Catoggio, Chairman of Schoenstatt’s General Presidium, in his sermon on the Third Sunday of Advent. “This year the door is a particularly telling symbol. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has proclaimed an extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy. Last Tuesday, 8 December, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, our Holy Father opened the Holy DoorRead More

About schoenstatt.org

Connecting Schoenstatters

We offer here a selection of articles from schoenstatt.org, in English. Schoenstatt.org as such is available in Spanish, Portuguese, and German.

Our mission is to serve the life of the International Schoenstatt family and the Church by promoting bonds of solidarity - covenant culture - and offering this service as a testimony - culture of encounter.

In all our actions, we daily hear the echoes of the words given to us by Pope Francis during the audience on 25 October 2014, "a culture of encounter is a covenant culture that creates solidarity."

About Schoenstatt

Schoenstatt is an ecclesial Movement, where everyone, each according to his individual vocation and united in covenant, serves the Church and its mission and the world God has entrusted to us.

The core of Schoenstatt's foundation is the covenant of love with Mary, the Mother of God.

This covenant of love generates culture and covenant culture is the unique expression of our way of life and work, our attachment to God, to people, to nature and culture, to the Church and the world, which always departs from the covenant of love.

Schoenstatt's commitment to this covenant culture inspires it to go out from the shrines to the existential peripheries to "sanctuarize" the world, as Pope Francis says.
