Today we stand here as an international family who in all its diversity, are united with our father and founder, and live with the Original Shrine, the place of grace of our Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen and Victress of Schoenstatt as its heart. These four jubilee days gives us the opportunity to have an intense encounter with the Original Shrine day and night. So that even here we can be and act as a family the walls of the Original Shrine have been extended to the Pilgrim Arena. We regard the Arena as our extended Original Shrine. At every ceremony and Holy mass we want to spiritually imagine ourselves directly in the Original Shrine. 5 Elements of our Pilgrimage to the Original Shrine Pilgrim Way to the Original Shrine The way: Different to all other times there will only be one way during the jubilee days to the Original Shrine. This is laid out as a pilgrim way and begins at the car park next to the Pilgrim - Info Form: On this pilgrim way to the original shrine you can do the following • Write your name in the founding document “My name, my covenant” • Buy candles and light them along the way in the chapel of light • Write down your contributions to the capital of grace and place them in the jar in the original shrine. • Check-out the wall of 200 shrines Pilgrim Park “in the shadow of the Shrine” The way: You make your way to the entrance gate behind the wall at the park. Please note that once you are on the park there is no entry to the Original Shrine from there.
