[covenant-greetings] Covenant Greetings - 2

[Covenant Greetings]

Two months ago we were asked to extend a greeting from our Shrine of La 
Molina in Lima, Peru to the collaborators and friends of 
schoenstatt.org;  when we received the message everyone was very happy 
and eager to express how we experience every 18th and how we do it as a 
Family.

In the video that follows, which was produced with much commitment by 
Manuel Huapaya, you will appeciate some of the comments and learn about 
our Shrine.

Every 18th we have two Masses, one at 12:00 on the day on which we are 
almost united in real time with the Original Shrine with only a one hour 
difference.  This Mass is attended by the Ladies Branch and 
the pilgrims, who must attend to their husbands, who arrive from work 
tired seeking the peace of the home, and it is too difficult for them to 
attend the Mass of Renewal at night.  Thanks to the intervention of our 
adviser, Sister Consuelo Cerda and Father Victory Solis, they have 
enjoyed this grace for three years;  today Fathr Edward Munoz celebrated 
the Mass, and he commissioned Isabel Diaz, as a missionary for the 
Campaign, who was very touched when she received the Pilgrim MTA and she 
committed to take it to the homes that need it so much. We were also 
accompanied by the group that will seal their Covenant of Love on August 
28th.  They finished the workshop and they are ready waiting for 
the arrival of Sister Petra Schnuerer, who will accept their Covenant.  
Sister will be visiting our country from August 23rd until September 5th.

Then at 8:30 p.m. the couples arrrive after leaving the  children with 
their school homework completed, well bathed, and fed to give themselves 
to the Blessed Mother and Jesus in a Eucharist, which is presided by 
Father Jaime Llamas.

This the moment when the capital of grace, which has been deposited 
throughout the month in a jar that reads:  "Nothing without you -nothing 
without us", is burned.

Both times we leave with peaceful hearts asking our beloved Blessed 
Mother to take care of us, that She always gaze on us, that things 
become difficut without Her and we ask for Serenity and Trust for the 
month and voices that sing:  "Protect Us With Your Mantle Queen of Sweet 
Love" and the unfailing ".One who remains faithful to the Covenant of 
Love will never perish" are heard.

Then it is time for that great sharing with friends when we talk about 
how the month went and we drink delicious chocolate, punch or hot 
coffee accompanied by delicious pastries!

We are wating to learn about the experiences of our Schoenstatt Family 
on the 18th and we pass the torch to Tuparenda, Paraguay who will extend 
the covenant greeting in September.
