While Fr. Pawel and Sr. M Elizabeth were in Melbourne, we were able to witness two Home Shrine Blessings.
Simon Family
The Simon Family, following their Covenant of Love, wished to have their Home Shrine blessed. They invited two other families and a representative from our Melbourne Schoenstatt Family join them in this meaningful celebration. Simon and Bindu were very grateful to be able to invite our MTA into their home to make it a Schoenstatt Shrine from where our Blessed Mother wants to distribute the graces and blessings she intercedes for us in every Schoenstatt Shrine.
As part of the Home Shrine prayer that the family members prayed, we heard:
“Mother, at all times help us to feel your presence in our home and on this occasion, when you come to dwell with us, we crown you as Queen of our Family. Remind us when we face challenges and struggles in everyday life, that you are our Mother and will always be with us in the Covenant of Love.”
The Diaz Family Home Shrine
A similar celebration took place on the Sunday evening in the West of Melbourne when Fr. Pawel blessed the Home Shrine of Lidia and Victor Diaz, one of our Spanish speaking families. Lidia and Victor named their Shrine: “Annunciation”.
The MTA picture was carried to every room in the house where one of the family members prayed: “Dear Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen, and Victress of Schoenstatt, come and stay with us and make this room, our _______ (kitchen, living room, bedroom etc.) your shrine.”
We wish both families rich blessings from our MTA in the months and years ahead. We remember that our father and founder always said: “I firmly believe that no one who lives his Covenant of Love in loyalty will be lost”.
