Opening our hearts – sharing life, receiving inspiration FROM families FOR families, deepening our knowledge – strengthening our own competence in matters of marriage and family.
Considering the whole person – recognizing the connection between body, mind, and soul – learning to think, live, and love holistically.
Embrace the spirituality of Schoenstatt – engage with Father Kentenich, understand his vision of marriage and family, and apply it to our times – grow together in depth and in height.
Give your heart away – rediscover love for one another, place Christ at the center, live in the Covenant of Love with Mary – shape everyday life from this love.
Allow yourself to be transformed by Him – live more courageously, joyfully, and serenely from your inner core as a “new person in a new community” – return home transformed.

 

Family Oasis

Aus dem Alltag aufbrechen – im Haus der Familie ankommen, freundlich aufgenommen werden, sich wohl fühlen – zu Hause sein.
Abstand zum Alltag finden – sich entspannen, Stress hinter sich lassen, aufatmen – zur Ruhe kommen.
Anderen Ehepaaren und Familien begegnen – sich austauschen, einander Mut machen, Impulse bekommen – Gemeinschaft erfahren.
Mit den Kindern spielen – Erlebnisse teilen, Natur entdecken, Freude erleben – Zeit und Raum füreinander haben.
Gott Zeit schenken – das Heiligtum der Familien entdecken, bei der Gottesmutter zu Hause sein, sich von ihr anschauen lassen – ganz da sein, wo Erde und Himmel sich berühren.

Oase der Familie

Be built up and strengthened – carry new ideas within you, be creative, be continually inspired – inspire others.
Take newly acquired knowledge with you – apply it at home, implement it in everyday life, share it with others – create a ripple effect.
Look beyond your own horizons – don’t just see your own little world, broaden your perspective, take responsibility – think globally, act locally.
Uniting with one another and with the Blessed Mother – gaining security and confidence, believing in the future, trusting in Her help and support – being bearers of hope in a time of upheaval.
Being inspired by Father Kentenich’s prophetic vision of marriage and family – never losing sight of the stars, always reaching out to them anew, let heaven come to earth – for the Kingdom of God begins here and now!
Meeting families from other countries and finding ways together to bring hope into the world.
