[covenant-greetings] Commitment with the Original Shrine

[Covenant Greetings]

Dear brothers and sisters in the Covenant of Love,
For more than ten years, month after month, we have had the grace of 
receiving a Covenant Greeting sent by Sister Kornelia on every 18^th 
from the Original Shrine.

Upon assuming her task, I imagine that by this time it is public 
knowledge, I asked myself if this also formed part of the assumed 
task.And I arrived at the conclusion that I want to share and to reflect 
with all of you.

For reasons of time, and place, naturally, I was inclined to say no.But 
on the other hand, seeing and experiencing how it attaches everyone to 
the Original Shrine as well as among us, from country to country, 
without recognizing borders, I asked myself if it was worthwhile -- or 
even more, if it was an obligation -- to continue with this greeting.

Obviously it will no longer come from the Original Shrine since none or 
almost none of us live in Schoenstatt.But in that returning current that 
Father spoke of so much ...isn't it now our turn -- in solidarity with 
the Original Shrine -- to share our own experiences of the 18^th with 
others from country to country, from city to city, from our Shrines, 
wayside shrines, etc., as a contribution to the capital of grace of our 
beloved Original Shrine?At the same time, we are assuming the mission of 
praying for the entire Family, for the petitions that we receive, for 
the most urgent needs that we feel and perceive, which are never lacking.

In order to do this, we would have to make some kind of calendar, where 
each one will assume a particular 18^th .In this sense, Tucumán, 
Argentina, already did this in July, in August, Lima, Peru will assume 
it, and Tuparenda, Paraguay will be take care of September.

I believe that during this time of preparation toward 2014, and shortly 
before beginning the Year of the Shrine Current, there is no better gift 
or contribution we can make that will partly and humbly return something 
for the much that we have been given every 18^th from our source of 
original graces.

Do we agree?I await your response, let us see what you think.Like 
everything in Schoenstatt, in the mission that I assumed, we do it 
together.I never considered that I could do it without you.

Strongly united to our Original Shrine.
