An eventful September EDITORIAL • “Did you celebrate the month of the shrine?” asked a journalist friend when he glanced at the publications on schoenstatt.org this month. Indeed, it was a month marked by anniversaries (La Plata, Marienberg) and consecrations (Resistencia) of shrines, but also by many real stories about the missionary, solidarity, and social commitment of Schoenstatters worldwide. What will September bring us? — Universal Church: Holy Year, Season of Creation, Canonizations The month of September of the Holy Year is marked by the “Season of Creation” and Pope Francis’ prayer intention “for our relationship with all of creation,” as well as […] The post An eventful September appeared first on Schoenstatt.org.

Pope Leo’s Prayer Intention: For our relationship with all of creation The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, September 2025 • Let us pray that, inspired by Saint Francis, we might experience our interdependence with all creatures who are loved by God and worthy of love and respect. — Lord, You love everything You have created, and nothing exists outside the mystery of Your tenderness. Every creature, no matter how small, is the fruit of Your love and has a place in this world. Even the simplest or shortest life is surrounded by Your care. Like St. Francis of Assisi, today we too want to say: “Praised be You, my Lord!” Through the […] The post Pope Leo’s Prayer Intention: For our relationship with all of creation appeared first on Schoenstatt.org.

With Amtena in the Chaco region of Salta: a ray of hope in Misión San Luis ARGENTINA, María Fischer • “You are now part of AMTENA, María,” Juan Barbosa just told me. It all began in November last year, with an interview that Juan, a long-time contributor to schoenstatt.org, did with Dr. Alejandro Nolazco. It was an inspiring encounter that, a few months later, led me to the Chaco region of Salta to accompany a clinical operation by Amtena, without knowing (almost) anything about medicine and without knowing about the poverty and human suffering of the indigenous peoples in Santa Victoria Este, and how the volunteer doctors of Amtena, the children, parents, and elderly Wichí, Toba, […] The post With Amtena in the Chaco region of Salta: a ray of hope in Misión San Luis appeared first on Schoenstatt.org.

I lost it… Could you please announce that it belongs to me if anyone finds it?” — Of course, I took the microphone again and, with Soledad at my side, described the situation.
