[covenant-greetings] Covenant Greetings

[M. Kornelia Fischer]

Happy 18th - a little late - at 1308 days from the great jubilee of the 
Covenant of Love, and happy Father's Day. Feast of Saint Joseph, in the 
year of the Father Current! Yesterday, thousands and thousands of people 
from our Schoenstatt Movement gathered, spiritually or physically , once 
again, around the Original Shrine, source of the graces of the world of 
Shrines and of theworld and with Father, the living center of our 
Schoenstatt,  which is a world of attachments.  The opening of the 
Triennium toward 2014 in the Original Shrine - a unifying moment on the 
joint pilgrimage of the Schoenstatt Family in the entire world toward 
Jubilee 2014 -- gave the impression that the Schoenstatt Family in each 
culture and generation experiences the current of the covenant of 
love.This unfolds toward the Father, shrines and missionary currents, 
and it helps those who desire a greater attachment.In this sense, every 
18^th that we celebrate in the Original Shrine or in any Shrine, is a 
small opening of a new month of our common pilgrimage to the great 
jubilee of the Covenant of Love.

The 18^th in Schoenstatt began, as it has on every 18^th for several 
months, with a Holy Mass in covenant with the entire international 
family, transmitted live through schoenstatt-tv and it is still 
available on mediatech.In the afternoon, the Schoenstatt Family gathered 
in the Original Shrine for the renewal of the Covenant of Love -- 
throughout the day there were also Masses, rosaries, one thousand Hail 
Marys -- and family encounters around our shrines, wayside shrines and 
chapels.One of these covenant encounters took place in the Shrine of 
Memhölz in southern Germany.After the renewal of the Covenant -- with 
the reading of a part of the Founding Document, there was a homily about 
the Covenant of Love that makes us take the Blessed Mother's hand and 
walk by her hand through life, giving Her all that we are, all that we 
have, and all the we do, there was profound moment of immersing 
ourselves in the Father current and to contribute the best of this 
family to strenthen this current for all of the family.First, some cards 
in the shape of the Father Symbol were presented that are destined for 
the foundation of the future statue of Father in this place, where the 
inheritance of the Father in view of freedom becomes more and more a 
mission.Each person who wants may be a part of this foundation, by 
signing a card with his/her name.The first cards have already been 
distributed beyond this diocese...Another gift was presented by a 22 
year old young man, from the Academy of Design in Berlin, who belongs to 
the University Boys' Group.He designed Father Kentenich phrases for 
"wallprints" a current of the house culture, which emerged recently in 
the United States.In the future everyone can decorate his home, 
business, office...with one of Father's phrases!

In Berlin they have already had a good response.Someone has already 
asked if they can also be designed in English...

More news that is also a gift "around" Father Kentenich's feastday.Our 
international web page -- schoenstatt.de -- has become even more 
international and still more of all of us: it becomes 
SCHOENSTATT.ORG!!It is functioning as schoenstatt.org (sch.de opens in 
Spanish). Soon, after a small change of design and the move to the new 
Server and the "transfer" of the institutional responsibility of the 
International Communication Center 2014/ Team 2014, with the same spirit 
and with the same team as always, it will be even more at the service of 
the life of our Schoenstatt Family with its mission: universal 
Schoenstatt, Schoenstatt beyond borders, Schoenstatt present in the 
world, Schoenstatt as an international family, in communication to know 
others, to share ideas, the work that is carried out, the graces, and 
the experiences, with others so that, day by day, all of this will 
enkindle more life...in other words, to embody Father Kentenich's MTA 
Magazine:

A request:as of now, change the links and help so that the Schoenstatt 
web pages and beyond change the links to the schoenstatt.org 
international web page.But in the first place, this web page 
www.schoenstatt.org <http://www.schoenstatt.org/>is valuable -- it 
exists because of its visitors and of the life that they share!Do you 
still need a gift for Father Kentenich and his family for today, his day 
during the year of the Father Current?As a gift -- post your testimony 
about what Father means to you, on the web page dedicated to 
this:http://cmsms.schoenstatt.de/en/my-schoenstatt/my-kentenich.htm
