The Word Made Flesh
Deacon Paul Williams
As we celebrate Jesus's human birth, God comes to live among us. The Father shows his immense love and vulnerability for us, bridging both heaven and earth. Christ, the Light of the World, enters during the darkest time of our calendar year, to brighten our lives and dispel our spiritual darkness. The stable in Bethlehem offers eternal hope and joy, as we are called to be Christ's hands and feet, extending our kindness, love, and compassion to our family and friends, especially the marginalized, lonely, and sick during this Christmas season. May the birth of the holy child offer us power to become true children of God, transforming us to live fully human lives, in His image and likeness.
May you and your family have a Blessed Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Felicem Natalem Christi
Covenant Day Masses Celebrated at Mount Schoenstatt
On the 18th of each month, the Schoenstatt community remembers the Covenant of Love sealed by Schoenstatt founder Father Joseph Kentenich and the Blessed Mother on October 8, 2014. In remembrance and renewal of this first Covenant of Love, the Schoenstatt community across the world celebrates this special day with Holy Mass in the shrine.
Join Father Rex Anthony and your Schoenstatt San Antonio family on the following days for Covenant Day Mass:
- Wednesday, Feb. 18
- Wednesday, Mar. 18
Masses are held at 12 pm in Cor Unum in Patre Shrine. All are invited, and everyone is encouraged to bring a friend!
Called to Communicate: Join Our Newsletter Ministry!
Our monthly Schoenstatt E-newsletter is a labor of love—one that keeps our community connected, informed, and rooted in faith. The newsletter is an opportunity for us to echo the Blessed Mother’s mission—carrying Christ into the world with tenderness, courage, and care.
We’re looking for a few gracious, Spirit‑led, detail-friendly volunteers to join our team. Whether you enjoy writing, organizing information, editing/proofreading, interviewing, or adding a touch of creativity where you can, your gifts can help reflect Mary’s “yes” in our Schoenstatt community.
If you sense the Blessed Mother nudging you toward this work, we invite you to respond to her prompting. No prior experience is required—just a willing heart and a readiness to serve alongside the Blessed Mother in bringing Christ’s love to others.
