Emmaus 90 Formation Sessions

Every Thursday (the day of the Eucharist) at 7pm, Emmaus 90 pilgrims will receive a 30 to 40 minute Formation Session livestream. You can access the recording any time after the live session.

Our formation will follow the four movements of the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:13-35: 

• JESUS DRAWS NEAR (How to put the conditions in our lives to recognize and converse with him long the way).
• JESUS INTERPRETS THE SCRIPTURES (How to understand what Sacred Scripture teaches us about Jesus, especially in the Eucharist).
• RECOGNIZE HIM IN THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD (How to recognize him in and fully, actively, consciously enter into the Mass).
• SET OUT AT ONCE ON MISSION (How to go out on mission to others walking with one as a Eucharistic Missionary).

Taught by Archdiocesan and National leaders, these sessions will help pilgrims to enter into daily prayer with the Scriptures provided and the weekly discussions with their small group. Session recordings will be posted on our Pilgrim Page for those who cannot participate live.
