Weekend hosted by Father Emmanuel Schwab, Rector of the Basilica.

Accommodation from Friday evening, April 24th until Sunday, April 26th after lunch.

Contemplate The Mystery of the Eucharist: "I cannot fear a God who made himself so small for me… I love him!… for he is nothing but love and mercy!" (LT 266)

Receive The Eucharist: "Jesus longs to enter your heart..." (LT 92)

Give The Eucharist, source of self-giving

"He who has just given himself to them, in the ineffable mystery of his Eucharist, this gentle savior wishes to give them a new commandment. He says to them with inexpressible tenderness: 'I give you a new commandment, that you love one another, and that as I have loved you, you love one another.'"
