<em>Undoubtedly, we could not accomplish a greater
apostolic deed nor leave our successors a more precious
</em><em> than to urge our Lady and Queen to erect her
throne here in a special way, to distribute her
treasures, and to work miracles of grace. You gather
what I am aiming at: I would like to make this place a
place of pilgrimage, a place of grace for our house and
for the whole German province, and perhaps even further
afield. All those who come here to pray shall experience
the glory of Mary and confess: "It is good for us to be
here. Here we will build our tents, here our favorite
place." A bold thought, nearly too bold for the public,
but not too bold for you. How often in world history
have not small and insignificant beginnings been the
source of great and greatest accom- plishments? Why
could that not also hold true in our case? Whoever knows
the history of our sodality will have no trouble
believing that Divine Providence has something special
in store for it.</em></p>

<p>Dear Pilgrims<br>
as our offices and communication team 2014 take shape in
this Year of the Shrine Current, so too do our
possibilities to reach out to you and share from the
wealth of experiences being made on the journey toward
2014. Today we think of the part the Original Shrine plays
on that path.</p>
<p>You are receiving the 2nd of our Towards2014 Newsletter.
I thank everyone for the feedback to our first outreach -
both positive and critical - and ask that you continue to
keep in touch so we can make the necessary adjustments to
bring you the news and info we all need as a family on the
road to 2014. We are very aware of the regional
differences in language - we have a volunteer team of
translators and ask for your understanding.</p>
<p>Please feel free to pass this newsletter on and get as
many people as you can to subscribe through our website <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="www.schoentatt2014.org/en">www.schoenstatt2014.org</a>.</p>
<p>Will remember all of you in the visits to the Original
Shrine.</p>
<p>Towards 2014<br>

<p>There is only a few days left until we cross the 1000 day
threshold (as can be witnessed on the countdown clocks on
some of our Schoenstatt websites) on our international
pilgrimage toward the jubilee of the Covenant of Love,
from the great moment of grace, October 18, 2014, in the
Original Shrine, in Rome, and – as it is stated in the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.schoenstatt2014.org/en/message-2014/">Message
2014</a>: in "… a world-wide live link to the
celebration held at our place of origin. In this way, the
current of graces radiating from the original shrine and
the extensive fruitfulness returning to the original
Schoenstatt after 100 years will be fully expressed."<br>
<br>
What we celebrate in 2014 is the Covenant of Love. The
Covenant of Love which has transformed this chapel into a
place of grace which today we call our "Original Shrine" –
showing that throughout the almost 100 years, from this
beginning, hundreds and thousands of Shrines have emerged
which multiply this place of grace. Looking towards the
jubilee, we see the Original Shrine and the desire grows
that it truly be ours. We pray that with the renewal of
our Covenant of Love at the beginning of the second
century in the history of the Schoenstatt Family, the MTA
will again symbolically take her place here.<br>
<br>
Motivated by this hope, we were negotiating with the
community of the Pallottines. In spite of our belief that
on the 1st January 2012 the Shrine would have already been
at our disposal, the negotiations continue so that an
agreement that is just and fair for everyone, as was
communicated by Father Heinrich Walter in his <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.schoenstatt.org/en/uploads/news/2012/01/phw-ur-en.pdf">letter
to the Schoenstatt Family</a>, is reached. We will
continue making our steps as pilgrims with everyone's
participation and active contribution in the Current of
our Shrines. The "steps of the pilgrimage" with which we
approach the Original Shrine and with which we bring the
Original Shrine closer to us, are given by the pilgrims
themselves, just as we express it and pray, day after day
and in the many languages of our pilgrimage prayer: With
every step we take on our pilgrim way we ask you: Enkindle
in us anew the fire of love for you, for our father and
for our family.<br>
<br>
On January 6th, feast of the Magi, I received an email
entitled: If I were one of the Magi… how many things would
I not give to the Mother of the Lord and the Child in the
manger…..! The Magi became pilgrims, following the star,
which led them to Bethlehem, leaving aside the comfort of
their palaces to begin a long and dangerous pilgrimage on
the way to humility and simplicity - a stable where a
Child destined for the salvation of humanity had been
born. And thus they went to honor him with their symbolic
offerings of gold, incense and myrrh….. We, as they, are
on pilgrimage toward humility and simplicity of a little
chapel (which is not even our own property) where we
firmly believe that Christ will be born anew to lead
humanity to the Father….. When we arrive at the
destination of our pilgrimage, the gifts in our hands are
gold (our apostolic projects) , incense ( the atmosphere
which we create and with which personally and as a
community we prepare the pilgrimage and the "encounter"
with the Child and his Mother) , myrrh ( our efforts and
sacrifices which we prepare filled with confidence for the
jar)…..Gifts of a "covenant culture."<br>
<br>
Amongst the many gifts are our webpages and the work with
logistics - from Team 2014 and the work teams - , but each
pilgrim on this journey is certainly preparing their gifts
for October 18, 2014. On that day we will leave – with
humility and an attitude of service – all gifts at the
feet of the Lord and his Mother in order for us to kneel
like the Magi at the place of grace, our Bethlehem. When
the world asks us how we succeeded in gathering as a
renewed and renewing Family around this Original Shrine
and then in Rome with the universal Church, we will
respond: With each step of our pilgrimage.<br>
<br>
I send you blessings from the Shrine,<br>
<br>
Father José María García<br>
