Schoenstatt Youth

Houston’s new Covenant of Love Candidates

Blessed Mother is happy to soon receive 7 more Covenant partners. The Schoenstatt Girls group from Houston has been preparing to seal their Covenant of Love since October 2010. On February 26-27 this year we had a Covenant of Love retreat at Conroe. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other more, to enjoy nature, and of course to dwell in our Schoenstatt's Covenant of Love. Our themes were: The Covenant of Love and our Baptismal Covenant, the exchange of hearts, good, and interests; the Blessed Mother in Scripture, and Schoenstatt as an answer for the needs of our times.
We really had a wonderful time. The Quintana's family lend us their beautiful vacation house with a view to the lake. We brought enough food for two days and an open heart to learn and prepare ourselves to seal our Covenant of Love. At the end of the retreat the question was:

Why do I want to make my COL?

Analicia Caylor
"I want to do my COL with Mary to stay close to God in the years to come. Not only would I look to Mary for guidance in my decisions but also to become a better person."


Emily Caylor
"So I may get closer to the Blessed Mother and have that special bond with her."


Cecilia Sanchez
"Life is like a soccer game- never give up and strong until the end"

Carmen McGillis
"Nothing bad comes from being closer to the Blessed Mother, but all good"

Fatima Ramirez
"I am preparing for my COL with Mary; who leads me closer to God and I am happy to know that though this journey I am learning to be a better person a "new woman" that little by little would love to seal a pact with the MTA and God."
Arielle McGillis
"God is unconditional love. Mary, our Blessed Mother, is the pathway to our Almighty Father.
with her guidance we can be the best daughter for our Father in Heaven."

Sofia Caylor
I want to do my COL with Blessed Mother because it is a very special thing that I will have in my heart forevermore. And I will be Blessed Mother's heart always. Also it is a chance for personal growth. How can I say no to my Mother? I can't! She will lead my life to Jesus, as if she was a compass.
