NEWS

• CROSS and CROWN — Our Auxiliary Shrine for Arizona, recently lost her crown and her cross.  Towards the end of the meeting, we agreed to add the return of or purchase of a new Cross and Crown to our prayer intentions.  Just two days later, Margret’s husband located the Crown, apparently fallen in transit prior to Knights’ visit, and Sally received the new Cross in the mail!  Mother does take perfect care! Payment for the Cross will be discussed at the next meeting.

 

• Marian Conference – Among other events, Father Calloway gave talks on Mary, the Rosary, apparitions, and even mentioned Fr. Kentenich and Schoenstatt.

 

• Visit with Knights of Columbus – Margret, with her 2 daughters and her father, drove through the big thunderstorm of August 3, during rush hour, through the flooded city streets, to bring our auxiliary Shrine to the Knights of Columbus group meeting at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Tempe.  She showed the small group of about 15 Knights a PowerPoint presentation of a brief history of Father Kentenich and Schoenstatt’s Mission.  The Knights were very hospitable and gracious, and seemed interested in becoming friends with Schoenstatt AZ, as we have similar missions for education and family development.

 

• Pennies – Sally collects pennies for the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary in the Dominican Republic who help children and families with nutrition, clothing, and other needs.

 

• Change – Margret and the Youth Group at St.Anne’s Catholic Church are collecting change to send to the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary at Rockport in Lamar, Texas, who have many repairs to make after surviving Hurricane Harvey.  They are also praying Hail Marys, Our Fathers, and the Consecration Prayer (My Queen, My Mother).  These are counted by marking a card and by counting wildflower seeds into a jar, which will also be sent to the Sisters for planting.

 

Prayer Reminders

• Intentions for people may be brought to Mass with you and prayed for, lifted up in our hearts, when the priest says, “Through Him, with Him, and in Him…” at the Consecration Prayer.
• When a person prays in petition for blessings upon their knees, in the morning and at night, Father Kentenich will happily bless all for whom the blessing is requested.

Prayer Intentions:  Mark LeRoy, Dee’s back, hurricane and earthquake victims

 

MEETING

In the Home Shrine, Mother of Good Counsel, we all prayed together the Rosary of Deacon John Pozzobon with all intentions in our hearts.

We gathered in the kitchen for healthy snacks and drinks and shared about our events and the last month around the table.

After briefings on the Marian Conference and the visit with the Knights of Columbus, we decided on a few jobs for the upcoming ARC, Arizona Rosary Celebration.  Alma will carry the banner and Margret’s husband, Travis, will carry the Auxiliary MTA.

We read and discussed the last few pages of our study book, Fear Not, Proclaim the Father’s Love, titled for the theme for this last year.  Since we will have our next meeting in October, we hope to start a new booklet for the upcoming annual theme, yet to be announced.

Resolution :

We will be praying for, or continuing to pray for, intercession through Father Joseph Kentenich for our requests and needs, with the prayer for his beatification, on the back of his picture card.  Also, in hopes to aid in the process towards Fr. Kentenich’s beatification, we will keep track of petitions and answers requested and received through the intercession of Fr. Kentenich.
