The perpetual – day and night – prayer for Eucharist adoration is the mission of the Basilica. Every evening after closing doors at 11pm, Eucharistic adoration continues in the basilica, taken over in turn by those who have registered for the night (accommodated in the guesthouse).
Welcome to all for this beautiful experience of night adoration.

(John-Paul II)It is your task to be the sentinels of the morning who announce the arrival of the sun, which is the resurrected Christ.
The light of which Jesus speaks in the Scriptures is the light of faith, a gift from God, which brightens up the heart and enlightens mind.
The personal encounter with Christ sheds new light on our lives, puts us on the right path and commits us to bearing witness to him.
The new way of looking at the world and our fellow man, which comes from Him, allows us to penetrate more deeply the mystery of faith, which is an experience to assimilate, a truth to live, the salt and light of reality.
