Greetings Dear AZ Schoenstatt Families,
January
“United with Mary, on fire, we go forward!” Readings can be found on the ‘Schoenstatt Mothers’ League site at Schoenstatt Wisconsin, https://schoenstattwisconsin.org/living-monstrance/
We prayed the Rosary in Barb’s home shrine, “Mother of Confidence”, before enjoying snacks and conversation with Ronnie, our new Schoenstatt mom!
We discussed Group Outline 1: The Eternal Woman https://schoenstattwisconsin.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/2019-Living-Monstrance-Outline-1-Eternal-Woman.pdf
“Prove first by your deeds that you really love me”
Our Blessed Mother Thrice Admirable, through the words of Father Joseph Kentenich, founder of the Schoenstatt Movement
- importance of our contributions to the Capital of Grace
- importance in Schoenstatt that we prove first by our deeds our love
- Mary as the classical image of a woman
- what the “eternal woman” is meant to do for those around her
- she is our model of holiness
- we strive to imitate her characteristics
