a happy and blessed Covenant Day from the Original Shrine, 1217
days – and 39

style=""> </span>May the Blessed Mother bestow her graces<span

Shrines, wayside shrines and homeshrines of the world over all
our apostolic
projects, all our initiatives to create a world that is more
humane, more just,
more attached, more in solidarity…a world more of God and more
of man, a
covenant culture that can only be born from our hearts in
covenant…that world

joy to celebrate this 18th especially on a Saturday, because
this way we could
celebrate the Mass “toward 2014” this morning in the Original
Shrine – in
covenant with Kuwait – and at the same time as a Covenant Mass.
<span style=""> </span>Soon you will be able to see it on the
mediatech of schoenstatt-tv!<span style=""> </span>Father
Heinrich Walter , President of the General Presidency of
Schoenstatt, was the
celebrant (since Father José María García was in Paraguay for
the priestly
ordination of Alfredo Pereira and Pedro Miraballes).<span
style=""> </span>The Mass was attended by the volunteers
from
the Pilgrims’ Center and the girls, who are participating in
“Time at
Schoenstatt, all of them from Latin America;<span style="">
</span>they were charge of the songs.</span></p>
<p class="yiv1288327564msonormal"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN-US">Father
Heinrich Walter stressed that these Masses “toward 2014” invite
us to grow,
Saturday to Saturday, in an open spirit for the great variety of
our
Schoenstatt, better said, in a true internationality, that is
not reduced to a
few flags and a few words in another language, but rather, it is
characterized
by openness, interest, and mutual solidarity, to enrich each
other mutually,
for an openness of heart to the life of the people with whom we
walk together
toward 2014.<span style=""> </span>Today this international
spirit calls us to solidarity with Schoenstatt in Kuwait –where,
there are some
Schoenstatters among the Christian minority of immigrant
workers, soldiers and
students.… He added, this spirit of internationality also calls
us to pray in
solidarity in the celebrations, the great events and for all the
concrete needs
of our brothers and sisters in the covenant, of which he
mentioned:</span></p>

will leave this
pen drive in the Original Shrine, so that everyone will continue

which has
already been in the Original Shrine for several months, in the
little 2014
corner.<span style=""> </span>And as soon as the new
