SPM FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
Why join?
Whereever Mary goes she wants to spread the Kingdom of God by bringing Christ into our lives. If we open our doors to her and to her graces, our dorms, our homes, and our hearts will become places of grace, places where God’s presence can be found.
Bringing this image is a gracious work of faith and of love. It also takes strength and courage from your youthful heart. You can transmit to others the love for God which you bear in your heart, just like Mary did in her lifetime. Are you willing to take this mission upon yourself? It depends on you!
To be a missionary of the Schoenstatt Pilgrim Mother for college students does not take much. You can share this gift with a few or many of your friends.
SUGGESTIONS FOR
Missionary college group
For the missionary:
Find no less than 3 and not more than 15 people
who are willing to receive the image of Mary once a week or every few days
Settle on the days and times
when you will rotate the image among your friends
Ask those who are going to receive the image
to prepare a place of honor for the Mother of God and her Son
Once you have received the MTA, entrust to her any worries and anxieties.
Having paper and pen to write is helpful.
Spend intentional time in prayer before the image.
Pray the Rosary and reflect on how the life of Christ and Mary touches your personal life.
At the end, thank Mary
for the specific special blessings you received
Contact the missionary who coordinated the visit
and pass the image on to the next person. Present her back with reverence!
It is nice to have a small notebook travel along with the image.
It will give everyone the opportunity to silently share any testimonies they have.
When preparing a place of honor for our Mother make sure to clean up around the area
and place things that will make it a little shrine. For example, you can use flowers, a light, or a picture of loved ones.
