Our Wayside Shrine in St. Cecelia is our tent where our Lord with His Mother accompanies us to cross the desert towards the Promised Land.
We are surely grateful for his presence. But, although an oasis of graces and blessings, we cannot stay there. The path must continue until reaching ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐๐ก ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
The key to reaching this goal is in the Home Shrines. The Wayside Shrine is a meeting point and communal renewal of all the Home Shrines in Schoenstatt Tampa Bay Inc. But we cannot stay in the Wayside Shrine! You have to keep walking.
We must continue working to conquer more individuals, families, houses that, through the ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ง๐๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐, collaborate with Mary and the Child to make their houses a Home Shrine.
Let us not forget the ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ of August 6, 2019, and sealed by the Founding Martyrs of Schoenstatt Tampa Bay Inc. on October 18, 2019.
