As we continue celebrating our Jubilee year, we look back with deep gratitude on our blessed history and the many ways God has guided our journey here in South Africa. The Schoenstatt Sisters have been part of this history since 1934. In 1935, when the second group of sisters was sent to South Africa, Father Kentenich encouraged Sister Digna, the group leader, with words that have echoed through the generations. Go! Just go! God’s blessing is with you. Imagine as you arrive in Cape Town. Our Lord is already standing on Table Mountain to welcome and bless you. You can be certain of the “Mater habebit curam” Our lady will always care for you. And I will stand behind you all the time. These words were not only meant for those pioneering sisters, they remain true for us today. Wherever God sends us, he goes before us with his blessing, wherever we are called to serve. Our lady is already there, welcoming, guiding, and caring for us. The courage of those first sisters reminds us to trust in God’s plan, even when the path ahead is uncertain. As we celebrate this jubilee, we are reminded to trust that wherever God calls us, he has already prepared the way. He provides the grace we need, and his blessings accompany us every step of our personal journey.
