The Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement began at Schoenstatt, a junior seminary conducted by the Pallottines for
those
planning to be missionaries in Africa. It grew out of a Marian sodality established there in April 1914. The
superior
offered the sodality use of St. Michael's Chapel, near the school. Father Kentenich was the spiritual director
at the
school. He took inspiration in part from the success of Bartolo Longo in establishing the Marian shrine to Our
Lady of
the Rosary of Pompei, and believed that he was called to establish a shrine at Schoenstatt.
Kentenich's guidance of the sodality was influenced by the works of St. Louis Grignion de Montfort.
On December 8, 1920, the first women were accepted in the Apostolic Federation of Schoenstatt". In October
1926, Father
Kentenich established the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary.
In 1941, Father Kentenich was arrested and sent to the Dachau Concentration Camp where he began to expand
Schoenstatt
there among the prisoners who were Italians, Poles, Czechs, and from other nationalities.
Mother Thrice Admirable
Mother Thrice Admirable Madonna by, Luigi Crosio, 1898
The picture of Mother Thrice Admirable was donated by a teacher in 1915. It was painted in 1898 by Luigi Crosio
for the
Swiss printing house, Kunzli Brothers, who produced prints of the image under the title "Refuge of Sinners".
The students re-named the picture "Mother Thrice Admirable", a title used by Father Jakob Rem, SJ, at the
Colloquium
Marianum in Ingolstadt, in 1604. It has been associated with specific pieces of Roman Catholic Marian art. The
spiritual
center of the Marian colloquium of 1604 at Ingolstadt was a copy of the icon of Our Lady Salus Populi Romani,
and father
Rem desired to know which of the invocations from the litany of Loreto would please her most. He reported that
after
meditation, the title Mother Thrice Admirable was revealed to him.
The 1898 Refugium Peccatorum Madonna by the Italian artist Luigi Crosio was purchased by the Schoenstatt
Sisters in
Switzerland in 1964 and has since been called the Mother Thrice Admirable Madonna, a key symbol of the
Schoenstatt
movement.
