Francisco
PORTUGAL, Lena Castro Valente • March 13th is the 10th anniversary of Francis’ Pontificate. I remember exactly where I was, with whom I was… in the very long minutes before the arrival of the new Pope at the Loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica. Who would it be? Who had been elected?

The information is so attractive that it took me a long time to read it. Thank you very much for yourRead More
SPAIN, Paz Leiva • This confinement thing is getting long. Even with so much time on our hands, we’re busy all day. — Yesterday was Holy Thursday. In the middle of the afternoon, a WhatsApp made me fix my eyes on my mobile: it’s Tita, from Vienna, I’m going to answer. “I’ll be with you in a while.” It took me half an hour to get to my friend. Tita was “struggling” with a text from Father Busse. A profound text, full of humanity, like Father Busse, joyful, full ofRead More

By Maria Fischer and Ani Souberlich • “Thirty more stars were blessed on Friday, 12 May for the carpet of stars located at the north entrance of the Cologne Cathedral.

By Maria Fischer with Renate Siebenkäs • When Fr. Kentenich founded the MTA Magazine almost 101 years ago, at the “forefront of a style of communication in the spirit of the Vatican Council II” (Prof. Dr. Westerbarkey), he relied entirely on active readers, free and strong personalities who do not just consume news.  Instead, they seek to establish dialogue, choose news, take ownership of what is relevant to them based on their personal mission, connect it with their own experiences, allow themselves to be inspired in order to commit themselvesRead More
ITALY, by Federico Bauml and Pamela Fabiano • 18 September 2016, is an important date for the Schoenstatt Family since it marks the return of the Italian website to the International schoenstatt.org.
