The Holy Father started yesterday his first official visit to his native Germany. As Schoenstatters we want to accompany this historic pilgrimage to the land of our Founder and of Schoenstatt's birth place. Germany and all of Europe needs a new Evangelization to re discover that "Where there is God, there is future". This is the motto that accompanies the Holy Father's visit.

Let us follow along though the news and media and pray for a fruitful visit. Let us give thanks at the same time for the gift of our Faith and the role it plays in our society. As a Movement on our way to celebration our centennial, we renew our efforts to promote a "covenant culture" in our midst.
