The Covenant of Love and the first 100% Brazilian satellite

The Covenant of Love and the first 100% Brazilian satellite

On February 28 the first 100% Brazilian satellite will be launched into space. The "Amazonia-1" was developed in Brazil by the National Institute for Space Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, INPE) and it was completely designed, constructed, tested, and operated by Brazil to observe planet Earth. Its main purpose is to observe and monitor deforestation, especially among the Amazon region. After many hard working years and hundreds of people involved, this satellite will be launched from the base at Sriharikota, India

The Brazilian team that is finalizing the project has been working in India on the final details for the launching since December. Among them is Marcelo Petry, member of the Schoenstatt Family League in Atibaia, Brazil. He is a physicist who works at INPE. He is married to Mayra Montoya Petry and is currently preparing to seal his Covenant of Love with the Blessed Mother.

 

What follows is an interview directly from India in which he tells us how the development of this satellite is also helping him to prepare for his consecration through the Covenant of Love and what we can expect from this new technology for Brazil.

 

What is your job? What exactly do you do?

 

I work at INPE and my job is to deal with the thermal controls for the satellites. To put it simply, you could say that my job is to maintain the temperature of the equipment that is part of the satellite within the specified temperature range, neither too hot nor too cold.

 

What part do you play in the Amazonia-1 project?

 

I am part of the thermal control subsystem where we have a first segment that deals with the computational analysis and architecture of the thermal project, and a second segment which deals with the physical development and implementation of the proposed solution. I am responsible for the team that works with that second segment. It is in charge of developing and manufacturing the MLI (a kind of spatial blanket) which covers the satellite. We also apply other thermal control devices such as ribbons, dyes, heaters, heat diffusers, among others.

How long have you been working on this program and what stage is it presently in?

We have been working on this project for six years and we are now preparing for the launch which is scheduled for February 28 at the SHAR launching base in Sriharikota, India.

Is there something you have learned through the Schoenstatt Movement that has helped you in your job?

Yes, it can be summarized in “Nothing without you, nothing without us.” This is the teaching that I carry with me in my everyday life. It always reminds me that I am responsible for my actions, but that I must guide those actions according to Christian principles. When the Russians and then the Americans launched the first spaceflights, Fr. Kentenich compared the conquest of space to the Covenant of Love. “It is true that through the Covenant of Love we are launched into space. We have entered the spaceship which is Mary’s heart” [1], he said. 

You are actually preparing to seal your Covenant of Love as a member of the Family League. Why do you think Father Kentenich makes this comparison? Can you see the Covenant as that shuttle which takes you to space?

When they are launched into space, astronauts are no longer walking on Earth, they are floating in space. The Covenant of Love separates us from an excessively materialistic life, which often might cause the same feelings of lack of attachment. With astronauts this requirement is met by attaching themselves to a spacesuit or a larger spacecraft, thus assuring his survival. To a Schoenstatter, the spacecraft is our MTA’s heart. Just like a spacecraft, Mary’s heart protects us during our flight, but we are responsible for the navigation. 

In Schoenstatt we claim that the inner world and the outer world -microcosm and macrocosm- should develop in harmony. The technological advances must go hand in hand with the spiritual advances. Is there anything in the development of “Amazonia-1” that has helped you in this process of inner growth?

Due to the amount of effort required to build a satellite, the process itself ends up influencing the way in which we relate to our surroundings. Just as we face numerous difficulties, there are multiple opportunities to practice our resilience, self-control and even empathy for others. It is often necessary to persevere for a long time in order to achieve the desired objective, without short cuts or detours during the journey, which makes it exhausting for those involved. When this happens, we must remember that there is a common goal and that we must overcome the barriers along the way, no matter what they are, because, if we don’t, we will all fail.

Why has this satellite been developed? What is its purpose? What benefits will it bring for Brazil?

The Amazonia-1 is a satellite that allows the photographic registry of the planet’s surface, normally classified as a tele-detection or remote sensing satellite. It was designed to observe and monitor the deforestation in the Amazon region. To fulfill this task, the Amazonia-1 takes pictures of an area in the forest, stores the images on its onboard computer and, as soon as it makes contact with one of its receiving antennas installed in the INPE units, sends the images so that the researchers can process them digitally and generate data on the forest’s deforestation. Images can also be generated to control forest fires, monitor urban growth, agricultural areas and water resources, among other things.

As for the benefits, we can approach them in two ways: a direct way and a cross-sectional way. The direct benefits are tied to the operation of Amazonia-1 per se, which consists in obtaining images that reinforce the availability and frequency of the information so that researchers may generate data that, in turn, can be used by agencies like the IBAMA (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis). As for the cross-sectional benefits, they can be identified as the validation of the multi-mission platform (PMM), which, if we make an analogy with a truck, would be the engine part; and the satellite payload module would be the semi-trailer, which is where the equipment that performs the satellite’s mission is located. Something else to take into consideration is the creation of skilled jobs in the national industry as well as the increase in the techno-scientific capacity of the involved institutes, which allows the possibility of targeting more complex projects that correspond to society’s needs.

The satellite will be launched by mission PSLV-C51 of the ISRO at 10:24 local time in India. The information and up to date photos can be found on the Engenharia Espacial INPE: Missão Amazônia-, Facebook page.

The Cultural Struggle for the “Father”

The Cultural Struggle for the "Father"

PressOffice Schoenstatt International
19. February 2021

There is no doubt that Alexander Mitscherlich’s book “On the Road to a Fatherless Society”, which was published in in its first edition in Munich in 1963, represents the signature of a long social process that reached a peak in the mid-1960s. The authority of father figures in private and public spheres was visibly wearing thin/ or: was increasingly exhausted. A new era for the legitimization of authority and the interaction of the sexes was ushered in.

How did this come about?

Church in Transition

 

The Church was and is involved in this process of change. She was and is characterized, so to speak, by a father structure. The title Father is associated with a great wealth of power, which refers to the people entrusted to him: for the “Holy Father” the universal Church, for the bishops the dioceses (at consecration rituals the bishop is addressed with “venerable father”), for the pastor the parish. The recent disputes in the context of pastoral and synodal processes show how much this principle still applies and is questioned at the same time. 

The following event, which falls precisely at the time of Father Kentenich’s conflicts with the Church, shows the imprint of the ecclesiastical image of the Father/ or: shows what influence the Church’s image of the father had/, in this case of the Father in the Family. In 1953, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany forced the abolition of the legal figure of the male head of the family. The German bishops reacted with protest because they saw the God given order of being undermined.

Emancipation of men and women

Father Kentenich and the Development of the Father Image 

 

It is interesting to note that Joseph Kentenich’s personal development as a child who had to grow up without a father, as a student, as a priest and founder of Schoenstatt communities, ran parallel to the indicated social development of the father image.

Father Kentenich took up these developments with great sensitivity until his death in 1968. He did so according to his faith filled principle that in crises God wants to draw particular attention to certain values in light of the signs of the times. In concrete terms, this means that parallel to the dismantling of the traditional image of the father, he tried to create a new image of the father, which was to be the model, both for the Schoenstatt communities he founded, as well as for families, and for the Church.

Father Kentenich was initially guided by old-proven ideas with regard to the families. He understood the father in the family as the figure and institution toward whom everything converged in the sense of ultimate responsibility. Thus, he also had the idea of a hierarchical image of marriage and family. It was not until the 1950s that he saw the image of a partnership marriage gain influence. He was open to this development and recommended to wait and see which image would eventually prevail.

Fatherhood: Loving and Caring Accompaniment

 

It is precisely this recommendation, however, that makes it clear that the basic category of the father image for Father Kentenich was not first of all the external structure, but the loving and caring accompaniment and the resulting “natural authority” of the father. Love had the absolute primacy for him.

This vigilance of Father Kentenich for further developments in general and the development of the image of the family, the father, and the mother in particular, makes it clear that he held the idea of engaging in new processes of transformation. In another context, he took the view of the movement’s ability to perceive social and ecclesial processes and to interpret them in the light of faith. He held the view:

“What someone used to do alone in the past, you have to do afterwards as a team. So the question is: what currents are there now? If you can’t or don’t do that, then you’ll have a wooden or stone society.” (1964)

“It may also be taken for granted that a movement of renewal of the designated magnitude must be thrown into the middle of all spiritual currents of time in the world and Church. It must be stirred and shaken, it must come to terms with them, it must grow from them, it must absorb what is valuable and overcome and strip away what is questionable.” (1952)

Proclaiming this Image in Word and Deed

 

Father Kentenich tried to plant this image of the father in various ways in the Schoenstatt Movement. As the first example we mention how he made himself available to individuals and to individual communities as a fatherly/ or paternal companion. The aim for him was  to inspire people and communities, not to maintain the upper hand over the different life processes according to a hierarchical structural model. His principle of “freedom as much as possible, bonds as few as necessary, cultivation of the spirit as much as possible” relied less on obedience to a father figure, than on inspiration and freedom.

Because of the obvious need for a loving father for all communities of life, he wanted his communities to see themselves as families. The successful “natural family” was the model for the loving care of the members towards each other. However, the emphasis on a new image of the father should not be understood in the sense of a primacy of the father over the mother. Mothers have always been more likely associated with the qualities of loving and merciful affection and appreciation. In this regard there was a clear deficit and an overlay with regard to the fathers due to authoritarian behavior. Here, Father Kentenich saw an urgent need for development.

The Father Image Open to Transparency

 

For Father Kentenich, a decisive task of the figure of the Father in the various forms was his character of transparency. A father should always be understood as one who refers to God as the loving father of humankind.   With this task of being a father, he did not connect a claim to power or of disposing, as was often the case in tradition.  He was much more concerned with an inner authority that could provide orientation and also challenge to make one’s own decisions and personal growth. All with paternal duties are to represent God as a loving father. And this applied to paternal tasks in families, in “family-like” communities, but also to parishes, dioceses and the entire church, who should see herself as a “familia Dei.”

Thus, being a father in the various communities of life was not an instrument of domination for Father Kentenich but an important opportunity to lead people to a relationship with God marked by love and freedom. This makes people capable of authentically saying “Our Father in heaven.”

Further Development of Image of the Father 

 

It must be taken into account that a reshaping of the image of authority and of the father in society and the Church will take a long time. The first contours are beginning to appear. For example, the image of the man as father can only be formulated in the reciprocal relationship to the image of the woman as mother. The respective profiling of both images is then less about differences than about convergences. In this context, for example, is it not a remarkable process that political parties try to occupy their top positions with a woman and a man together? As in other events, does this perhaps indicate a sign of cultural history that wants to be taken seriously in society and in the Church? It will be a real challenge to perceive and accept the signs of the times and to interpret them from faith in God’s guidance.

Contributions to a More Comprehensive Picture in the Causa Kentenich

In cooperation with various persons from the Schoenstatt Movement, topics are being researched on behalf of the General Presidium of the International Schoenstatt Work which concern Father Joseph Kentenich, the founder of the Movement, and which are currently examined. This is done on the basis of the respective current state of knowledge available in the accessible documents and writings. The results of the research and conversations can be read in articles related to each topic.

Daring to yearn for greatness and working to achieve it

Daring to yearn for greatness and working to achieve it

Sister Erika-Maria Bukovics, along with four other Sisters of Mary from the filiation house in Timisoara, the third largest city in Romania, speaks with us about the joys, needs, and projects of the small, but highly committed Schoenstatt Family in Romania

Interview by Claudia Brehm
28. Februar 2021

Sister Erika-Maria, what are your current thoughts, efforts, concerns, and joys in the movement?

 

In 2019 we opened our first filiation here in Romania at Timisoara.  It’s a great joy for us to be able to keep on building the Schoenstatt Movement in Romania, as has been done before by the Sisters of Mary.  Currently there are five sisters, four of them are Romanian and one is German. Our movement here in Romania is still a very small family; we have a Family branch, Schoenstatt youth, the Pilgrim MotherApostolate, seven Sisters of Mary -one is in Germany and two of them are in Austria- and approximately ten priests who have sealed their Covenant of Love.  We hope to make the Schoenstatt Movement better known in Romania so that it can continue to grow in our country.

 

What activities do you perform?

 

At this time, most of it is online. We get together monthly on the 18th for the celebration of the Covenant Day, for youth and family events, and for the Pilgrim Mother meetings which are held at the chapel in our house.  For the time being, those are virtual encounters.

 

Our ministry includes reaching out to people on the streets.  We establish contact with the local parishes and priests.  Three of our sisters work in the Timisoara diocese doing pastoral work and getting involved in local projects.  Furthermore, we get involved, with Germany’s cooperation, in social projects among the people in our country.

Every big project starts with a wish and a dream.  What are your hopes and dreams?

 

Our biggest hope is to build a Schoenstatt Shrine and a small Schoenstatt Center here in Romania.  The Blessed Mother will let us know if this will remain as a dream or if it can become a reality. I read that “The future begins with you” in the song for the women and mother’s movement.  I really liked that because we should not wait for others to shape the future while we just wait to see what happens.  We should help to make our dreams come true ourselves.  We must believe in the future of the Schoenstatt movement in Romania, even if it is still in its infancy. Even though we don’t have the land or the money for a Shrine and a Schoenstatt center, we firmly trust in the Virgin’s power.  If the MTA wants to establish herself here in Romania, as in the Original Shrine, she will show us the way.  I am truly convinced of this.

 

There are many challenges in your country which you must face with courage.

 

Yes, we do have many challenges here: unemployment, emigration, parents who have to live somewhere else to find work in order to sustain their families. This sometimes results in broken marriages. We also have to deal with the loss of faith.  For our events, the diversity of languages is a big challenge.  Even in Timisoara we have to deal with three languages: Rumanian, Hungarian and German.  Having to take this into account at every event demands great effort.

 

But we are certain: it is precisely for these difficult times that we have Schoenstatt offering a home for everyone with stability for their faith and their families. Our founder, Father Joseph Kentenich, once said: “Without hardship, without sacrifice, without battles, nothing great will emerge from us. Great individuals always grow on the cross.”  So, we keep taking courageous new steps in our country and we rejoice for each person who is called by the Blessed Mother to the movement.

In Germany we have always heard about Romanian hospitality.  What is your experience?

 

Yes, it is a great joy for us to see that the people here are so open, hospitable and helpful.  They enjoy helping with social projects.  For example, I am always touched by the fact that poor families, young people, or the elderly, like to share what little they have with others.  I was recently traveling on the tramway and started a conversation with a woman beggar.  She said that she was glad she could help another woman who couldn’t go begging because she was too frail.  She had received a blanket and gave it to the other woman because “she needed it more.” She trusted that someone else would give her a blanket, and so it was. When I asked her if she needed another one due to the very cold weather, she said “Not at this time since I already have one and that is enough.”  These experiences really move me! Here, in this country, you can clearly see that there is solidarity amongst its people, concern for the wellbeing of others.  There are exceptions, of course.

 

What has the pandemic brought in terms of challenges and opportunities to make new things out of old ones?

 

One of the greatest problems is that many people have lost their jobs because of the pandemic and this, of course, exacerbates poverty.  Online schooling is a great challenge for many children, as well as for the teachers and parents; it requires a larger effort in the children’s upbringing. Nevertheless, there is also a positive effect. The students I’m responsible for have often expressed how nice it has been to spend more time with their parents at home or to do things as a family, like taking small trips, for example.

 

Furthermore, during this time various virtual prayer groups have flourished that strengthen the bond with others and trust in God. The longing for community is growing strongly.  One comes to appreciate more what was possible in previous times. In addition, several social projects to help people in need have emerged.

Tell me about an initiative…

 

At the end of November 2020, the Sisters of Mary launched a Christmas campaign in cooperation with Germany.  We wanted to help the people of Romania with disinfectants and protective masks.  It was a great joy for us to receive support from so many people.  Thus, we were able to deliver the packages to children’s homes, homeless shelters, some social institutions, families, and single people.  We are so grateful to our many and generous benefactors, both in Germany and Romania.  This was a very special experience for us.

 

How do you envision the future?

 

We should not be afraid of the future, even if we are going through great hardships in our country. If we only believe that the good Lord holds each one of us in His hand and knows our future much better than we do, we can continue moving forward.  Our task is only to walk with Him.

 

Thank you, Sister Erika-Maria, for your time.  We are deeply grateful for having the opportunity to meet the Schoenstatt family in Romania. I am sure that some of our readers will keep you in their hearts and pray for you from now on, especially for the Romanian Schoenstatt family’s great desire to build a shrine. I will be delighted to take you, your sisters and our fellow Romanian brothers back to our Blessed Mother’s Original Shrine.

The graces of the Home Shrine transforming families in Australia

The graces of the Home Shrine transforming families in Australia

As one of the great gifts of the Schoenstatt spirituality, five families invite the Blessed Mother to dwell in their homes

Bernard Toutounji
February 5th, 2021

Amidst pandemic restrictions, our Sydney family group, made up of five families, was – thanks be to God – finally able to consecrate our Home Shrines on 1 January 2021. We had been working toward consecrating the Home Shrines in early 2020 but, like so many things, Coronavirus put it on hold. In preparing for the consecrations, we made use of the book My Home, A Shrine which was written in 1986 by Sr Thomasine. We were additionally helped by Sr. Mary Agnes and Sr. Elizabeth along the way.

 

The initial plan was that all our families would pilgrimage to one another’s houses for the blessings, but the tighter restrictions changed that. We were thankful to still begin the day together with Mass at Mt. Schoenstatt with most of the sisters in attendance. Following that, Fr. Paul and Sr. Elizabeth travelled home-to-home to bless and witness the consecrations and the rest of us attended it virtually via Zoom. As part of the preparation each family named their Home Shrine and adopted symbols as tangible signs for each member of the family. 

 

The Home Shrine preparation experience has been powerful, and it has gifted to us one of the great gifts of the Schoenstatt spirituality. The consecration of the Home Shrines is a lasting gift for the whole family which invites the Mother Thrice Admirable to take up her throne in a way just as tangible as the invitation of the founding generation inviting Mary to dwell in the original Shrine. This is just one of the gifts of our movement and we are grateful to God that we have finally been able to add our homes to the list of Home Shrines in Australia. If you are reading this and never consecrated your Home Shrine, we encourage you to prepare.

Austria: The Seven Pillars of the Schoenstatt Family – creative, near, and apostolic

Austria: The Seven Pillars of the Schoenstatt Family - creative, near, and apostolic

They have condensed the various aspects of Schoenstatt spirituality into the guiding principle of the seven pillars. The concept comes from the Old Testament, from the book of Proverbs (Prov. 9:1): "Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven pillars".

22. January 2021 Claudia Brehm

The Austrian Schoenstatt Movement began in Vienna. On October 11, 1991, the first family meeting with Father Beller took place in the home of the Fellhofer family. Using a lemon seed as an example, he explained how important it is for a seed to sprout so that it can fulfill its purpose. Equally important was the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles at Pentecost. Through the action of the Holy Spirit, the apostles received the strength and courage to work in many countries. In the same way, it is very clear that this Holy Spirit is especially present in the Kahlenberg Schoenstatt Center in Vienna and in many families. The families want to build a holy city at home, in their parishes, businesses, in the Church, and in the world. Through their magazine FAB (Family as Vocation), they offer many families abundant help for marriage and family life through very practical examples from life in Austria and beyond.

They have condensed the various aspects of Schoenstatt spirituality into the guiding principle of the seven pillars. The concept comes from the Old Testament, from the book of Proverbs (Prov. 9:1): “Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven pillars”.

These pillars help the Movement to cope with difficulties in all life situations and to find its way again, especially now in the pandemic crisis. The text in italics contains impulses for the current pandemic situation

First pillar: Growing from within. This is about the development of one’s own personality and the greatest possible appreciation in the encounter with other people and their originality. Being patient in a crisis, not to be disturbed by difficulties and not to be infected by irritability.

Second pillar: Radiating joy, attracting hearts and giving guidance. The constant media coverage of the pandemic does not help. How do we spend our time meaningfully so that we can radiate hope to others?

Third pillar: Being creative, taking responsibility, helping build the Church and the world, connecting faith and life. Seeing the positive challenges of the crisis, getting out of our routines, looking for new ways, including for the work of the movement through digital opportunities.

Fourth pillar: Living heart to heart in connection with and among each other, experiencing that “we are a strong team”. Being cautious especially with at-risk groups, applying protective measures with calm and peace.

Fifty pillar: Finding home – giving home. Living in connection with the natural and supernatural world. Inviting others to help build the holy city – it is there for everyone. Making your home available to others. Reducing contacts to a minimum. But strengthening others through the telephone, letters, signs of solidarity, prayers.

Sixth pillar: Spirit of the founder. Taking part in the spirit of the father and founder, Father Kentenich. Doing this leads to firmness in a pluralistic society, respect for others, and courage to do new things. Creating something new together with others in the charism of Father Kentenich.

Seventh pillar: God in our midst. Deepening our daily life in faith through the home shrine and using it as a source of graces, offering suffering and wounds to God and the Virgin Mary, experiencing healing. Connecting to our source of graces and uniting our strengths. Offering the wounds and sufferings. Each contribution changes the world.

The first six pillars represent a path of development: from the first approach of self-education and original development under the motto of “growing from within” (new man), to the creative founding personality that creates a new Christian culture together with others (new community). These six pillars are linked to the source of graces of the shrine – “God in our midst” – and thus ensure a credible connection between faith and life (salvific mission of the West).

Just as St. Benedict created a profound renewal in Europe through his monasteries in times of collapse and migration, the Austrian Schoenstatt Movement wants to renew its country in a remarkable way through a network of homes from which a vital, Christian life emanates. 

At the moment there are numerous interesting resources in the online format due to the pandemic. These show a lively and original movement that approaches the pulse of the times and the life situation of the individual, and with it, of families, and connects them to the God of life, as well as using challenges as opportunities to strengthen people, to build a holy city, to shape the world in a meaningful way.
