[covenant-greetings] Covenant greetings - special

[mkf at schoenstatt.org]

Dear Collaborators of schoenstatt.org <http://schoenstatt.org>, 
Companions and Friends:

Between two 18th's I want to send you special "covenant greetings" 
today.At the beginning of the month we were celebrating together the 
migration of the Schoenstatt.de <http://Schoenstatt.de>web page to the 
new Schoenstatt.org, in a more international format and now more than 
ever at the service of the International Schoenstatt Family.We were full 
of joy and a renewed commitment, placing all of our work and all our 
news and experiences in so many places of the world at the service of 
the preparation for 2014, that we await as a moment of grace and of a 
profound refounding of Schoenstatt in the missionary and creative spirit 
of its beginning, to present to the world what Father Kentenich wanted 
to offer.

In my last greeting, sent on May 18th, I wrote:"We unite around the 
Original Shrine to renew our Covenant of Love, telling the Blessed 
Mother:Your covenant , our mission.Our mission that we have to fulfill, 
that we want to announce, that more than anything we want to live in joy 
and in sorrow, in the Shrine and the "Dachau" that we must live and that 
calls us to tranform it into a covenant land..."At the same time that 
these greetings were sent, a notice from the community of the Sisters of 
Mary was sent, which since then has reached you and has touched many.I 
wanted to communícate to you personally, but I could not send an email 
to each one...this is why I am doing it through this "Covenant Greeting" 
that has attached us to the Original Shrine and to each other for 10 
years now.

As of June 30th, the Institute of the Sisters of Mary are relieving me 
of all my tasks with the Schoenstatt.org web page, the tasks at the 
press office and communications and of Team 2014.

*It is a very, very hard decisión for me, *as all of you can 
imagine.This task which I had the joy and the grace of carrying out for 
10 years is the mission of my life, which I never felt that it was 
something that was filled with work or that was going to tire me, rather 
it allowed me to experience the most authentic, the most pure, the most 
experienced, the most missionary of our Schoenstatt, of Father's 
Schoenstatt, of the Covenant of Love in the thousands and thousands of 
ways it was lived according to the charisma and personal ideal of each 
one of you, according to the necesitéis of your places, regions, 
countries, and more than anything, of the men and women who need our 
words, our affection, our way of being, our work, our hope, our faith 
and from our heart shrine, the graces of the Shrine.I felt that with 
each story that you sharedand that passedthrough my heart -- yes, each 
one!-, our Schoenstatt grew in richness, in strength, in beauty.God 
writes the covenant hisotry with man; the Blessed Mother writes the 
history of the Covenant of Love with our stories of life, and I feel 
happy that a part, I believe that a great part, of this covenant history 
is found in our Schoenstatt org. at everyone's reach, for always -- and 
until always, because it continues.

*The decisión taken by the Sisters is a definitive decisión*, so it is 
not the time to try to find solutions to prevent it, rather, for my 
part, it is a time to express gratitude, and for all of us to continue 
forward with what is now even more our mission of life, our web page and 
our Schoenstatt, made of personal attachments that will never break, 
even when external things change.

*It is a decisión that affects many --*from Team 2014 and its work 
groups to the most simple missionaries who are asking who is going to 
take interest in what they want to share;it affects all that wonderful 
network of collaborators that is based on personal attachments.I feel 
the sorrow that is expressed in so many calls and emails..I can only 
take it to the Shrine.I have to admit that the wave of solidarity and of 
prayer, the hundreds of calls and emails that I received, the Masses, 
rosaries and adoration offered for me almost conquered me.A thousand, 
thousand thanks for all of this.I pray to the Blessed Mother and Father 
Kentenich to return all of this to each one of you, who suffer with this 
change, this (exterior) rupture of attachments, and to all those who 
roll up their sleeves to carry forward what together we built through so 
many years, in collaboration of solidarity, joy, and freedom.

In the coming days, Schoenstatt.org will publish in detail, how 
everything will continue.My task of communication on Team 2014 will be 
assumed by Father José Maria Garcia, the elaboration of the concept of 
communication 2014 and the search for a team for the International 
Communication Office 2014 is in progress, and , for you, the most 
important thing:the institutional responsiblity of www.schoenstatt.org 
<http://www.schoenstatt.org/> is also assumed by Father José Maria 
Garcia, while my task as executive editor will be assumed by Monina 
Crivelli (monina at schoenstatt.org <mailto:monina at schoenstatt.org>), who 
has all my confidence, who has collaborated with the web page since the 
beginning, and to whom we owe that Latin America has assumed the 
international page...In 2001, almost ten years ago, she brought the 
Third International Auxiliary, given to her by Father Esteban Uriburu, 
to the press office, so that she, as Queen of the new evangelization of 
American and of the entire world, would work as the great missionary 
through Schoenstatt.org...With this Auxiliary --that when She fulfills 
her task here will return to Argentina -, along with Father Esteban 
Uriburu and many other brothers and sisters more who from the Heavenly 
Schoenstatt intercede for us, and with our commitment, we continue 
forward, filling the page of the covenant stories, visiting the web page 
and deseminating it, in this way taking Schoenstatt to the ende of the 
earth!

When I began my task here, I began to compile my "tablet of names", 
annotating, almost day by day, the names of those who sent me emails and 
notes...Many times, and now during these weeks, I have meditated every 
day in the Original Shrine about these tablets (now there are 
several).Each one of the names of these tablets are also written in my 
heart.In this way, we remain attached.I encounter all of you in my 
heart.And -- paraphrasing Father -- whoever seeks me, will find me in 
the Shrine, in Father's heart, just like the web page, that is a shrine 
of international attachment of our Schoenstatt...

On June 18th, I will send the last Covenant Greetings from the Original 
Shrine.But, thanks to Monina's stupendous idea, the Greetings will not 
die.We ask that each oneassume an 18th in their area and to share it, 
from the network of Shrines and wayside shrines:in this way we will see 
how it is experienced in each place, we will get to know the shrine, the 
people, how they experience every 18th, and we will contribute this to 
the Original Shrine -- it is a way of return current, and it depends on 
all of us!What do you think?

My great petition is that you give Monina the same confidence that you 
gave me, that you continue sending articles as always and even more, 
that you visit the web page more than before, so that all of this can be 
a demonstration of the excellent work that we fulfill as Father's 
mission for our time, in the spirit of the 31st of May.

United for always, ,
