*Merry Christmas from Schoenstatt,
*
*from the Original Shrine!*
Navidad 2010 - Carmen Rogers
Today we published the most important news: Jesus is born and he is
born again on this earth, among men, in our Shrine, in our hearts.
At the beginning of Advent, when the first stars arrived (just like
6 years ago, but but never had so many arrived as this year),
someone asked me: "What will
happen when thousands and thousands of people flood the Original
Shrine on Christmas Eve? What miracle should
we expect? The stars continued to
arrive, each one was a demonstration of faith, of trust, and of an
incredible attachment to this small Shrine. So many arrived that
for the first time it was not possible to print all of them, rather,
I could only save them on a flash drive...In the digital era, this
is as real as sheets of paper...As of today there are more
than 50,000 names...or more, from 3,000 emails from so many
countries...
This afternoon, these stars were
presented in the Original Shrine, it
was not so easy, because there is
a "White Christmas" in Schoenstatt.
For the first time in many years, Schoenstatt
is covered with new snow on
Christmas Eve. It is very beautiful
except that it is almost to drive...
So, it was a pilgrimage on foot
from Mount Schoenstatt!
With great simplicity,
but aware of the grace of this moment,
that is a part of the large pilgrimage
of the entire family toward
October 18, 2014, we presented
all the stars...and afterwards
we expressed gratitude for the
great news that arrived today -
*As of January 1, 2012, the Original *
*Shrine along with its pilgrims' square*
*and the sacristry of the house in *
*front of the Shrine (St. Marien), will *
*be yielded to the Schoenstatt*
*Movement. This agreement *
*constitutes the first step on the*
*way to a prompt and complete *
*clarification of the relationships*
*concerning the Original Shrine and the *
*Schoenstatt Valley.*
This is the first step of a miracle
which we have desired for decades... a miracle for which
hundreds of Schoenstatters offered their lives...and it will be
carried out in the Year of the
Shrine Current.
Now, in a few minutes, I will take
the stars to the Midnight Mass in
the Adoration Church, and I will
place them on the carpet at
Father's tomb.
May this Christmas in the Year of
the Father Current, on the 45th
Anniversary of Father's return to
his Original Shrine, fill all of you and all the people whose names
are written on the stars, with blessings.
Christmas greetings,
Sister Kornelia
