Sursum Corda!
Lift Up Your Hearts!
This is the new
2023 Schoenstatt Motto
with 3 distinct dimensions:
Our consectration prayer, "My Queen, My Mother," is a distinct opportunity to lift up our hearts to God and place into the hands of the Blessed Mother our loneliness, lack of trust, temptations, diappointments as well as our longings, aspirations, and dreams. It is a distinct way of bringing our contributions to the capital of grace, to surrender our love to God through the hands of Mary, and let her dissipate what oppposes God in us.
With these words, we embrace our priestly character as baptized people. With these words, the priest begins the Preface at every Holy Mass in order to give thanks or literall "to make Eucharist." At every Hole Mass we deeply and personally connect to the peson and sacrifice of our Lord.
Each one of us is called to become a Sursum Corda, a reminder of higher values - giving orientation towards above to those we serve, meet, encounter, and love. Through what we are and do, we are able to lift up to God the hearts of those around us.
The message of practical faith in Divine Providence proclaims a faith in God and his loving care that has been made part of practical everyday life. In Schoenstatt it has the form of a message of trust in God's care, of a constant dialogue with the God of life and history, of actively seeking God's will and acting accordingly
.As a movement of moral and religious renewal in the Catholic Church Schoenstatt works to help renew the Church and society in the spirit of the Gospel. It seeks to reconnect faith with daily life, especially through a deep love of Mary, the Mother of God.

The starting point and foundation of Schoenstatt is the covenant of love entered into with Mary our Mother Thrice Admirable, (MTA) Queen, and Victress of Schoenstatt. Through prayer and study of Schoenstatt group materials a person learns about the covenant of love and discerns if they are called to make a covenant with our Blessed Mother.
