ARGENTINA, Natalia Ambroggio. The Branch of the Women’s League from Resistencia, province of Chaco, Argentina, celebrated its 5th Anniversary during two consecutive weekends. On Saturday, July 5th, a Mass of Thanksgiving was held, which was attended by the National Advisor, Sister Maria Sofia, during which the Blessed Mother was crowned as "Queen of Integrity" and then six young ladies of the branch: Ceci, Ani, Georgi, Mirthi, Caro and Silvia sealed their Covenant of Love.

The following day Sister Sofia gave a talk for the Professional Women in which the topic of the meaning of being women of integrity in the world today was deepened. Sister asked: "On what do I base the happiness I seek?" then she affirmed that "one must seek to grow in the love of God, in prayer, and on childlike consciousness". Furthermore, the young ladies from Resistencia felt accompanied by the prayers that their Diocesan Advisor, Sister Elsa Maria offered for them from Obera.

On Saturday, July 12th, there was a 5th Anniversary celebration of the branch which was attended by the professionals from the five groups that presently form the branch and of several more who belonged to the branch and who helped to build it. Among those who attended were the diocesan coordinators, Cristina and Eduardo, as well as the members of the Family Work, the Girls’ Youth, the Boys’ Youth, Mothers and missionaries of the Campaign.

The Professional Women celebrated as a family and along with other sisters of the branch who arrived from Paraná and from Tucumán.

Where heaven touches earth

An atmosphere of much joy and gratitude reigned during these weekends for having been called by the Blessed Mother to form part of this branch where the women want to educate themselves and motivate themselves to live in their work place, in the midst of the world and in their lay apostolate, in such a way that heaven touches earth through them and so that as women, they may be the heart in world trying to be little Marys in the world of today and in everyday life.

We want to take the opportunity in this article to extend our gratitude to all the people who accompanied us and who accompany us on this road with their prayers and deeds. We thank Sister Alejandra for giving us the initial push at that first meeting around July 12, 2003. And we extend our gratitude again to the Blessed Mother for bringing us close to her and her son, Jesus. At the same time we ask that we remain loyal to her as our Father and Founder Joseph Kentenich did and who left it as a legacy for us.
