These retreat talks were given by Schoenstatt's Founder in the Marienau  (House of Schoenstatt Priests in Vallendar) to Members of the Schoenstatt Womens' League. He addressed his audience as "Tabernacle Children" in the spirit of the community ideal of the Women's League which is to be a living tabernacle like Our Lady in the hour of the Annunciation at Nazareth.
