About 30 Schoenstatters visited the concentration camp of Dachau, where Father Kentenich was imprisoned by the Nazis for more than three years. It is in that hell that he wrote the Home Song, a poem to the wonders of Paradise, which we are called to create here on Earth.
On November 16 we celebrate Father Kentenich’s birthday. There is no better way of remembering him than through the deepest experiences of his heart, based on an intimate love for Jesus and Mary, which allowed him to trust them blindly in the most difficult moments of his life. His example encourages us to live with a profound faith that Mary will take perfect care of everything in our lives.
