MAGIS EUROPE 2020
„Bread – life – love”
Between the 1st and the 9th of August 2020, the Hungarian Province of the Society of Jesus, in collaboration with other Jesuit Provinces and female Ignatian congregations, will organize a summer Magis Europe 2020 event for young adults. It’s a program for 18-35 year old youth, who are interested in Ignatian spirituality, mainly for participants from Europe, but representatives of other continents are also warmly welcome.
The meeting is divided in two parts: Ignatian experiments and the Closing event. The activities are designed to show young people the meaning of teamwork, to give them a sense of international community and to expose them to unusual situations which contribute to their human and spiritual growth. Magis event offers a number of various experiments to choose from, grouped in several categories: Pilgrimage, Spirituality, Service, Arts, Ecology and Culture. The venue of the experiments will be in Hungary and in neighboring Slovakia, Austria and Romania. The Closing event (7th – 9th of August) will take place in Miskolc, Hungary, where all the participants of Magis Europe 2020 will gather.
The central theme of the Magis 2020 will be the Eucharist. This is manifested by our slogan “Bread – Life – Love” as well. We are inspired by the fact that in September 2020 the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress will be held in Budapest, Hungary, and also from the first of the Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society of Jesus: „To show the way to God”. Throughout the meeting we would like to discover the Eucharistic aspect of the Ignatian spirituality in depth.
The event will be held in English, therefore a sufficient level of knowledge of the language is needed.
