late, but
heartfelt and from the Shrine of Memholz, in southern Germany:<span
style=""> </span>Happy Covenant Day with our beloved MTA and
with<span style=""> </span>all her allies.<span style=""> </span>There
are 42 18th’s to the centenary of the
Covenant of Love, 41 days to go, physically or spiritually,
along with all the
Schoenstatt Family to the Original Shrine to renew the Covenant
of Love in its
creative, missionary strength and<span style="">
</span>internationally inner-connected attached, <span style=""> </span>that
is, in the spirit of 2014.</span></p>
<p class="yiv1731179805msonormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif";" lang="EN-US"><span
style=""> </span>“The 18th of every month is not only a day of
remembrance for us, rather, it is also and above all a day of
renewal, a day in
which we renew the Covenant of Love that the Blessed Mother
sealed in
Schoenstatt on October 18, 1914 and who returns to seal it now
with us
inserting our giving of self into that first covenat”, said
Father Kentenich in
conference about the Covenant of Love in Nueve Helvecia,
Uruguay. And he
continued saying:<span style=""> </span>“A few days ago a man
from Montevideo came to the Shrine with a large bouquet of
flowers.<span style=""> </span>I asked him why he came here.<span
style=""> </span>He replied that he wanted to seal the
Covenant of Love with the Mater ter Admirabilis.<span style="">
</span>I see you and thousands of people, who
through time will come on pilgrimage to this Shrine, symbolized
in this man (…)<span style=""> </span>All of those who are
here should feel united
by the attachment of the Covenant of Love, I could almost say
that we should be
the “bouquet of flowers” for the Blessed Mother.<span style="">
</span>Now, let us go with confidence to her Shrine
to implore these graces.<span style=""> </span>I repeat, with
much confidence, since the measure of grace that we receive
depends on Her….Let
us think again abpit the bouquet of flowers.<span style="">
</span>The spiritual bouquet that we offer Mary should be formed
by a great and
unconquerable confidence, through the profound desire of being
sheltered in
God, through the willingness to be interiorly transformed and
for the serious
effort of being defenders of good and noble things…”</span></p>

this confidence
and “unit<font color="#ccccff">e</font>d by the attachment of
the Covenant of Love, during this Holy Week,
hundreds and hundreds of youth departed and continue to depart<span
style=""> </span>to go on mission – accompanied by the
prayers
of many members of our large Schoenstatt Family, Via Facebook
and via our
international web page schoenstatt.org<span style=""> </span>we
received
a request to unite in prayer for the missions in Ecuador, Chile,
Argentina, Mexico, Italy, Uruguay and Paraguay, as well as the
reponse of so
many countries that can be summarized in a phrase:<span style="">
</span>“Everyone united in the missions”.<span style=""> </span>This
is the reality of the Covenant of Love,
which makes us a missionary family…During the Mass in
preparation for 2014,
which was<span style=""> </span>celebrated for Iceland last
Saturday, Father José María García invited everyone to unite in
prayer with the
young missionaries of our Movement, in their effort to take
Christ and the MTA
to so many people.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family:

experience of feeling united to a covenant network forms an
essential part of
the pilgrimage toward 2014.<span style=""> </span>We want to
express this experience in a truly touching moment at the
opening of the Year
of the Shrine Current on the eve of October 18th, at 9:00 p.m.
(time at the
Original Shrine).<span style=""> </span>In Schoenstatt, </span><span
lang="EN-US">The group of pilgrims from the various shrines meet
shortly before 9
p.m. on the streets leading to the Original Shrine and wait for
one another.
Then all move at the same time towards the Original Shrine where
flambeau
torches, fires and lights are simultaneously enkindled. The bell
at the
Original Shrine will ring out and the bells of the surrounding
shrines will
join in as we pray our Pilgrimage Prayer 2014: “With great joy
we start out on
our pilgrimage to your shrine …”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">At the same moment flambeau
torches, fires
or candles, can be lit at all shrines, wayside shrines, chapels,
home shrines
and heart shrines throughout the world … as a sign of unity with
the Original
Shrine, as a greeting to the Original Shrine, and as an
expression of the life
and grace flowing back from all the shrines.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This moment when the earth
is encircled by
a network of lights and fire can be seen from aeroplanes and the
international
space station. The fire from the fire at the Original Shrine has
reached the
boundaries of the earth. It is a visible reality and can change
the world. With
its flambeau torch each shrine throughout the world greets the
Original Shrine.</span></p>

Shrine as family – commented:<span style=""> </span>“Maybe I
will be at the Metro in Munich at that time, returning from

candle…and perhaps
at that moment some strnager who is traveling on the same train
will also do
it, and two heart shrines will meet…How exciting!!!”</span></p>

there will still be a link for some time that will direct to

prayers to see
this long awaited desire <span style=""> </span>become
