ROME, Gonzalo Crespo. On Thursday December 13th, the Holy Father was with Rome’s university students where he gave his last encyclical for the year. On this occasion the Pope greeted the first group of Italian youth who had sealed their Covenant of Love, along with the Argentinean and Paraguayan missionaries who work together with the Schoenstatt Fathers in Rome. Father Ludovico told the Pope that this is the first group of Schoenstatt Italian youth. The Holy Father was glad and said: "Bene, bene - Good, good!"

Gonzalo recounted:

We were at the back of the church when we saw someone in a dinner jacket…. It was Balter an Italian friend of ours who prays the rosary with us on Wednesday in the Sisters’ Shrine, Cor Ecclesiae! As we moved forward it just so happened that it was near the door through which the Pope entered…. incredible. So if you can imagine: We come to the Pope, we greet him two times; first when he entered and then when he exited. We presented ourselves as Schoenstatt Youth here in Rome, and I asked him to bless my Covenant medal and our Pilgrim MTA. We want Schoenstatt to be at the disposal of the Church, at least he knows it now."

From December 26th to January 1st, they were in Schoenstatt along with their two Pilgrim MTA’s, and a very contagious desire to inspire all Schoenstatt to offer to be actively at the disposal of the church.
