Barbara Kast

I wanted to share a quote from Barbara Kast's biography:
"Christ, now you are present in the shrine. You are in the tabernacle, which has open doors so that all can feel your presence and love. Mother, help me to become a true tabernacle of the living Christ, a radiant, pure tabernacle, empty of self and filled with God, a tabernacle full of the Father's love, the Mother's trust and unconditional, childlike faith; a tabernacle that is modest from within and without, that always bears true witness to the presence of the living God amongst us in the Immaculate Host that is transformed at Holy Mass." (Diary 16)

Her life was a beautiful example of love, sacrifice, and the living out of the Personal Ideal. May we all speak to Christ these same words.

HAPPY FOUNDING DAY!!

Greetings from my room shrine!

Happy October 18th to all the girls of our Girls' Youth in MN! This is the day that Fr. Kentinich established the Covenant of Love with the boys in their little shrine in Germany. 95 years later, the movement has spread around the world and we have many girls here. May the MTA be glorified and her love spread to even more people. If we all would imitate her in every aspect, the world would change drastically.

"Pope Pius X's fundamental insight that the easiest, surest, and shortest way to a vivid oneness with Christ and a deep penetrating love for the heavenly Father is through Mary."
-Fr. Kentinich

Many blessings as we are united in our shrine,
Hannah

October 18 is approaching quickly...

I can't believe it's almost our Founding Day! October 18 will be the 95th anniversary of Fr. Kentenich's new idea to create a shrine in a tool-shed to honor our Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen and Victress of Schoenstatt. They entered into a covenant with her, and the movement grew. Please pray especially for our girls in Minnesota, Iowa, and La Crosse, and for Sr. Deanne as she continues her amazing work as our youth sister. May you receive many special blessings from our Mother on her special day!
United in the Shrine,
Hannah

Our latest production!

I wanted to share a video with all of you that our Leaders' Circle put together. Every September, the North and South Minnesota Leaders' Circle girls come to the shrine for the Leaders' Overnighter. This was one of our big projects, and I finished it later at home. There were several technical hitches, and it's still not "professional", but it gets the word out. Please continue your contributions to the Capitol of Grace for 2014! Enjoy!!
