[Kd1871-covenant-solidarity] the Wayside Shrine in the Andes in blessed - and we are part of it

[maria fischer]

Dear collaborators, friends and users of schoenstatt.org
in Covenant Solidarity we shere the joy of the blessing of the wayside 
shrine in the Andes, with so many of us present in Covenant Solidarity 
through our prayers, contributions to the capital of grace etc
We also pray or continue to pray for the Family Missions in Argentina, 
and with our Holy Father, for peace in Syria and for all migrants and 
refugees.

As we are all collaborators in the field of communication, let us make 
ours the beautiful message of our Holy Father Francis, published 
yesterday at the feast of the patron of journalist, Francis of Sales, 
for the World Day of Communication:

The Crusaders climb to Christ the Redeemer

Today we experienced an historic day of Grace.  After climbing the Andes 
range, the Crusaders reached its highest point, and we found ourselves 
on the peak with Christ the Redeemer!

What an exciting moment for everyone!

The uphill climb was not easy, but we arrived together and we walked the 
final meters with songs until we found ourselves with the Christ.  There 
we surrounded Him with a large embrace and we prayed to the Lord for our 
peoples.

Then the long awaited moment for which we had prepared arrived...we 
celebrated the Holy Mass and we enthroned the MTA on the peak of the Andes!

Mario's dream became a reality!  Mary already has her dwelling on the 
Andes close to the Redeemer.

We were accompanied by a large delegation of the Schoenstatt Family from 
Mendoza and Chile, as well as several priests, among them Father Carlos 
Cox. More than 200 people were present at noon, and we were not alone, 
because we knew we were accompanied by all the Schoenstatters throughout 
the world, who are praying for us.

We placed the picture of the MTA and the stones that each country 
brought to the crusade as well as the personal symbols of each crusader.

After the celebration, at the foot of the Wayside Shrine, everyone 
signed the commitment to be bearers of the Covenant fire and to take it 
as missionaries to the future generations.

We descended to Chile and now we walk with a clear mission...to arrive 
to Bellavista bearing the flame of the Covenant of Love that we want to 
present to Church and to the World.

Father José María Iturrería

Pope Francis has sent us his blessing and he is happy with our pilgrimage!

Here is the email that his secretary, Monsignor Karcher sent me.

It is great that the Pope is thinking about us!

And what joy and pride for the Crusaders!

Father Jose María Iturrería

Dear Father José María:

Holy Father Francis is profoundly happy to know that you are taking the 
picture of the Virgin Mary to the feet of her Son on the border between 
Argentina and Childe.

The communitarian gesture that you are carrying out is a true sign of 
brotherhood.

May the Andes pilgrimage be filled with faith and enthusiasm and may it 
also be a living testimony of the love that becomes a Covenant of Peace, 
as our Mother of Schoenstatt invites us.

The Pope greets and blesses you and he assures you of his prayer.At the 
same time he asks that you pray for him from the heights of the range.

Cordially

Monsignor Guillermo Karcher
