Schoenstatt Family
Our Spirituality
"As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live."
John Paul II
Our spirituality is marked by the fact that as a couple, our way to God is together. Christ is present in our love in every sphere of our life. This especially holds true for the marriage bond. Just as Christ loves His Church without reserve, so too, do we try to love each other and remain loyally together in joy and suffering. In this way the Covenant with God is applied to our covenant with each other. The Covenant of Love with Our Lady is thereby our source of strength and daily inspiration.
God is interested in us and wants to work through us. If like Mary, we get involved, then we become His instruments. He can bring new life through us, in our children, but also further a field. He hands over to us responsibility for creation and wants us to serve life.
Through the appropriate attachment to people and the world we will find our way to God. Our motto is: "to do everyday things extraordinary well". We try to search for traces of God in our lives in all that we encounter in order to recognise God's will for us and to act accordingly.
