In one of the – wonderfully told and far beyond the borders of Italy popular – short stories, which Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968) tells about the two protagonists he invented, „Don Camillo“ and „Peppone“, bears the title „AUTUMN“. Although most of his stories have a humorous background, this time it is about a serious topic, namely the national commemoration of the fallen on the occasion of November 4th. The communist mayor Peppone expresses himself in the heated discussion with the priest as follows: » „The people are fed up with all these wars and victories. The people know very well what a war is and do not need speeches and calls that glorify it.“ Don Camillo shook his head. „You are on the wrong path, Peppone. Nobody wants to glorify war. It is only about paying homage and thanks to all those who suffered in this war and lost their lives in the process.“ « (G. Guareschi)

The Schweinheim house of God was not consecrated to one of the many people we venerate as saints, but rather the ONE God in THREE persons – that is, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit – was chosen as the patron. Father Reinhard Körner writes about the mystery of the Holy Trinity: „Among the great ones among the intercessors in the history of Christianity… I found prayer texts in which – in the same prayer – each of the divine Three was explicitly addressed. When I tried to recite the texts, I could feel that these people had not only had God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit individually in mind – they were addressing a divine community. And it seemed to me that they could only do this in their written prayers because they also did it otherwise, silently in their hearts.“
