Prayer for the 18th

Dear Schoenstatt Family and friends,

A new year also brings new life. We also want to bring new life to our families by renewing our consecration to the Blessed Mother in our Shrine and home shrines.
Throughout the year Our Mother Thrice Admirable protects and guides us and our loved ones. In a time when ordinary family life is threatened, we may want to give our families again and again to the one person who is ready to protect them.
Ever since October 18, 1914 the Mother Thrice Admirable has granted our world graces in abundance. That is why we mark the 18th of the month as a special day for each Schoenstatt member. It is a day in which our Mother and Queen is especially close to us and wants to help us in our every need.
How can we make the 18th of the month special for our families? On the reverse of this brochure is a prayer for this day. You could find the right time for your family to pray this prayer together every 18th. Other ways to make the 18th special could be to treat the family with a special meal or dessert and spend some family time together. Give your children the opportunity to experience the special quality of this day. Make this a FAMILY day!




Prayer for the 18th of each month

Let us spiritually unite with all Schoenstatt members in heaven and on earth in the shrine to remember our founding day, October 18, 1914.

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for sending Mary to us to make a covenant of love that would give birth to the Schoenstatt Shrine as a source of grace for our world and time. We thank Father Kentenich for the openness to hear the invitation and the daring to say “yes.”

Dear Mother Thrice Admirable, we present to you the prayers and sacrifices that we have offered during the past month as contributions to the capital of grace. Use these signs of our love as a key to release a stream of grace from our Jubilee Family Shrine for our families, friends, and diocese.

(Mention special prayer intentions.)

My Queen, my Mother, I give myself entirely to you and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my entire self without reserve. As I am your own, my good Mother, guard me and defend me as your property and possession. Amen.

Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen and Victress of Schoenstatt, pray for us.

4th Annual Marriage Renewal

THE MYSTICAL BODY HAS MANY FACES.......

For the 4th year, assisted by Fr. Randal Kasel, couples gathered to renew their wedding vows.

This year again at St. Charles, Bayport Mn.

This year the day chosen was providentially World Marriage Day.

The celebration began with Adoration, a litany for purity to St. Philomena, and Benediction.

In the presence of our dear Lord, and our beloved MTA, we then renewed our marriage vows and the Covenant of Love.

The couples then shared a private spaghetti dinner, complete with carrot cake.

The children also had a special meal together, followed with games and sing along.

The family day was truly a blessing for all !

Jan.9th, 2009 Covenants Received in Sleepy Eye

Congratulations to our MTA's new Covenant partners.

The names of the ladies are Karla Carr, Cass Greenfield, (Group Leader)Chris Rockers, Candace Carr, and Mary Koziolek.

They sealed their covenant on Covenant Sunday, Jan. 9th.

Blessed and Holy Christmas Season to all.
