Schoenstatt Pilgrim Mother USA

What is the Schoenstatt Pilgrim Mother Apostolate? When Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, her presence brought many blessings. Not only did Mary serve Elizabeth's physical needs; she brought the Lord with her into Elisabeth's house. She filled the atmosphere in the home with the praises of God, prompted joy, inspired prophecy and prepared the way for the miracle of Zachary's cure. (cf. Luk

e 1. 39-80). Mary want to carry Jesus into our homes, serve our needs, intercede for miracles in our lives. She know that we cannot travel easily to the great pilgrimage places -Lourdes in France, Fatima in Portugal, Schoenstatt in Germany, etc. There fore her motherly concern for us and her devotion to Christ urge her to Come to us. She wants to make our home, room and offices holy places, islands of grace, sanctuaries in the midst of the world. She wants to spread the Kingdom of God by bringing Christ anew to the world through us. Thousands of people in South America, Africa, the Caribbean, the Philippines, and Europe have already welcomed the Pilgrim Mother Thrice Admirable of Schoenstatt into their homes. Groups are forming all over the United States. Now the Blessed Mother want to come to our area. Are you ready to offer her shelter on her Journey of Love? Let us greet her and welcome her as Elizabeth did: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?" (Luke 1. 42-43)
