The Basilica

The basilica is filled with light which penetrates into the church from every side. There are two rows of cylinders spaced apart to allow in the light. The cylinders are hollowed from top to bottom and form the chapels. 

A delicate and smiling Infant Jesus has been placed on the right for our veneration. He invites us to meditate on the thought that our God, in His great love, became Child for our salvation.

At the focal point of the Church in white marble: the altar, the ambo, and the tabernacle are covered with a copper canopy.

The organ, with pipes of polished copper extends towards the front.

One of the twelve chapels has been set up as the Chapel of Confessions. The Confessionals are surmounted by a large Cross: Salvation from man comes from above, by means of the Cross of Jesus.

In the two lateral entrances to the central door, under a cone of light, are the two holy water basins. The basins that contain the holy water are made of white marble, smoothly polished, in contrast to the crude stone which supports them; they symbolize the soul purified by the Grace of God.

A pilgrim who approaches the basilica feeling oppressed and crushed by his pains, worries, and sins will be enveloped by the light, the peace, and love of the Father who has sent His Son to restore our broken relationship.
