Formation of the heart is essential for a life of discipleship and service. At the celebration of the Eucharist, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we experience a closeness to the Lord that enlivens our hearts and renews our minds, sending us forth to carry on the work of the Church. In this lecture, Cardinal Seán will discuss the Eucharist as an invitation to live the ideals of the Gospel and to be Jesus' witnesses in the midst of our world. Register
