Compassion, especially with youth, is given a strong emphasis in the activities of the Emmanuel Community. Strengthened by Eucharistic adoration, from compassion, evangelization is born.

Youth are naturally generous and have a hard time dealing with injustice. They’re ready to move mountains for something they believe in. That’s why voluntary organisations like Fidesco (give it a try !) appeal to today’s youth. In day-to-day life there’s no lack of suffering…

At Paray-le-Monial Jesus revealed his Sacred Heart, gentle and humble from which flow mercy and compassion for man. It is when we plunge ourselves into the riches of the Heart of Christ through Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament that the generosity and reactions to the injustices witnessed become real.

This reality is also lived through ideas like Macadam Café, where people have felt the need to go out and meet the homeless with a cup of coffee and a bit of time. There are also visits to hospitals, prisons, schools, missions at Christmas time, etc… to meet the people face to face and heart to heart whether on campus in the neighbourhoods or in families.

Compassion is God’s attitude
