for the entire dreamteam of schoenstatt.ORG,<br>
<br>
to all of you and each one, who with your visits to our website,
the sharing of news, with your articles, contributions, comments,
your solidarity and interest, make of schoenstatt.org what it is -
an instrument at the service of our Schoenstatt family and beyond,
from the real life that we observe and share, the currents of life
that we observe - and the surprises of God that we experience each
day. In all simplicity and humility we want to help that in this
Jubilee Christmas and the first Christmas of our Holy Father

I make the invitation from Fr. José María`s Christmas letter my
own to celebrate Christmas 2013<i>: "Let us celebrate by talking
with one another about how the Lord has surprised us this year,
and how he has prepared us for this Christmas. In this joy and
gratitude in and for one another Bethlehem will become a reality
for our time, where Mary can show the Child who has been born,
not the gods we imagine and seem better to us.</i><i>"<br>

families, your apostolates and projects, your articles and
comments (past and future).<br>
<br>
Blessed Christmas, in Covenant Solidarity,<br>
