Day 3 – Novena towards the Covenant of Love Day

Schoenstatt International

This Saturday, October 11, we arrive at the third day of the novena leading up to the date of Schoenstatt’s founding: October 18. As an International Family, we continue with the novena on the theme: I believe, that my contributions counts!

The third day will recall the life of Gertraud von Bullion, the first woman to join the Schoenstatt Work. She was a volunteer nurse during World War I and met the young Schoenstatt sodalists on the battlefields. Gertraud was a special instrument that the MTA used to consolidate the feminine presence in the International Work.

On this third day, two members of the Schoenstatt Girls’ Youth – Guadalupe Fernandez from Argentina and Paulina Leon from Mexico – will lead the reflection. They will pray directly from the Bundesheim (the Covenant House), which has a space dedicated to Gertraud and where our pioneer was so often.

Today’s video was recorded in Spanish, but subtitles in English are available:


The prayer is available in six languages:
