Testimonies and examples from men
who experience the Pilgrim MTA.
We Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary who work with the Apostolate of the Pilgrim MTA in Switzerland and Liechtenstein receive much feedback about her visits to homes. It is mainly women who provide the feedback, but there are also testimonies and examples from men who experience the Pilgrim MTA.
When our son visits us and the Blessed Mother is present in the sign of the Pilgrim MTA shrine, he often says, O, you have a visitor again! He is happy because he knows I often feel a little lonely and I am not doing so well mentally. H.B.
My husband is not Catholic and, therefore, I am all the more happy that he is the one who lights the candle in front of the Pilgrim MTA when she comes. M.S.
I think it is special and it impresses me that when the Blessed Mother is visiting us, my husband places his hand on the Pilgrim MTA in the morning and evening and thus commends the past or the coming day to her. J.J.
My son is a lumberjack. The other day, when the Pilgrim MTA shrine was in our living room, he said before leaving: “So Blessed Mother, today we have a dangerous job in the forest. Why don’t you help take care nothing happens?” H.B.
A man asked his wife if their family would want the Pilgrim MTA shrine to visit them. She said no and at home that evening told her husband so. He said, “Why not? I think it would be nice if we received a visit from the Blessed Mother!” R.Z.
A young man who received the Pilgrim MTA shrine for two years then moved away on business for two years. After he came back, the contact person assumed he probably no longer wanted the Blessed Mother, or no longer remembers the Pilgrim MTA shrine at all. She spoke to him and noticed he was still thinking about it. She was amazed at how he immediately reacted. “Yes, of course I’ll be happy to take the Blessed Mother back. I’m looking forward to her visit.” R.S.
A pastor who took over a new parish wrote, “Of course, I will also be happy to publicize the ‘On the Road to You’ project in my new place of work. As soon as I find interested people, I will gladly contact you.” U.E.
A man writes, “I think it is very worthwhile. It is really special when the Blessed Mother comes to a family. There are unchurched people in our Pilgrim MTA circle. They are part of it without further ado. That also impresses me.” D.E.
Several men decided to let a Pilgrim MTA shrine rotate in their circle. They had a special intention. It concerned a company connected with finances. We hear time and again about dishonesty. They were also worried that something might run amiss. Therefore, they wanted to entrust this company to the Pilgrim MTA. The Blessed Mother has been visiting this circle of men for quite a long time and until now everything has gone well with the finances. M.D.
Someone from our circle dropped out and we were able to win over a family who is now also taking part. When I brought the tote with the Pilgrim MTA shrine, the husband was home. He is a police officer. He took the tote, opened it, and said very happily, “Welcome, Blessed Mother!” K.B.
