#ForASynodalChurch - Newsletter n.6 - As we walk together, together we learn #synod #listeningchurch #walkingtogether

"The Synod offers us the opportunity to become a Church of closeness, that does not stand aloof from life, but immerses herself in today’s problems and needs, bandaging wounds and healing broken hearts with the balm of God". - Pope Francis during the Opening of the Synod Saturday, 9 October 2021 #synod #ListeningChurch

Now it’s your turn! This weekend, October 17th, the invitation to walk together on the synodal journey to be a #ListeningChurch is given to each of us with the opening of the Diocesan Phase of the #Synod. Keep an eye out to hear from your diocese and don’t forget to share with us what your community is doing. Tag us with your pictures, comments, reactions, and hopes for this important process.

ES: “Si hablamos de una Iglesia sinodal no podemos contentarnos con la forma, sino que necesitamos la sustancia, los instrumentos y las estructuras que favorezcan el diálogo y la interacción en el Pueblo de Dios”. Discurso del Papa Francisco durante el Momento de reflexión para el inicio del proceso sinodal EN: "If we want to speak of a synodal Church, we cannot remain satisfied with appearances alone; we need content, means and structures that can facilitate dialogue and interaction within the People of God". - Pope Francis, Address for the opening of the Synod PT: "Assim, quando falamos duma Igreja sinodal, não podemos contentar-nos com a forma, mas temos necessidade também de substância, instrumentos e estruturas que favoreçam o diálogo e a interação no Povo de Deus". - Discurso do Papa Francisco duranto o momento de reflexão para o ínicio do percurso sinodal #synod #ListeningChurch #IglesiaQueEscucha #IgrejaQueEscuta #PopeFrancis

We must walk together on the synodal process. The lived experiences of the People of God, especially those who have been on the margins, are central to a lived synodality that listens to the Spirit at work in the world. As we journey on the path of listening, how can your community cultivate communion among all people? What voices have previously been excluded? Are you open to journeying together towards the waters of renewal? #Synod #ListeningChurch

Pope Francis will inaugurate the Synod on Synodality with the celebration in St. Peter's Basilica this Sunday, October 10, which will be preceded by a moment of reflection in the New Hall of the Synod, tomorrow, Saturday, October 9.

Synodality is more than just a word or a slogan. Synodality is an expression of the very nature of the Church - the process of discerning how the Spirit is moving us, so that we may continue to fulfill our mission to evangelize in the world.

On October 9, 2021 the Church will embark on an intentional process of mutual listening that will span two years and engage the People of God in a journey of communion, participation, and mission. Beginning with the opening session in Rome on October 9-10, the process will turn towards the local Churches for a nine month time for listening, discerning, and dialoguing from October 2021 – April 2022. Then the journey will move outwards to the continental and universal phases, concluding with a meeting with the Synod of Bishops in October of 2023. How will you engage with this invitation to speak out and journey with the Church towards communion, participation, and mission? Check out the website: 👉www.synod.va #Synod #ListeningChurch

The Synod on Synodality begins on Saturday. Need to be reminded about the details of our journey? Here is what you need to know for Saturday. 📌What is a synod? #Synod #ListeningChurch Español ‘Sínodo’ es una palabra antigua muy venerada por la Tradición de la Iglesia, cuyo significado se asocia con los contenidos más profundos de la Revelación […] indica el camino que recorren juntos los miembros del Pueblo de Dios. Remite por lo tanto al Señor Jesús que se presenta a sí mismo como “el camino, la verdad y la vida” (Jn 14,6), y al hecho de que los cristianos, sus seguidores, en su origen fueron llamados «los discípulos del camino» (cfr. He 9,2; 19,9.23; 22,4; 24,14.22). (Vademecum 1.2) Português “Sínodo” é uma palavra antiga e veneranda na Tradição da Igreja, cujo significado recorda os conteúdos mais profundos da Revelação. […] Indica o caminho que os membros do Povo de Deus percorrem juntos. Remete, portanto, para o Senhor Jesus que se apresenta a si mesmo como «o caminho, a verdade e a vida» (Jo 14,6), e para o facto de os cristãos, seguindo Jesus, serem chamados nas origens «os discípulos do caminho» (cf. At 9,2; 19,9.23; 22,4; 24,14.22). (Vademecum 1.2) Italiano ‘Sinodo’ è una parola antica e venerabile nella Tradizione della Chiesa, il cui significato attinge ai temi più profondi della Rivelazione [...] Indica il cammino percorso insieme dal Popolo di Dio. Allo stesso modo, si riferisce al Signore Gesù, che si presenta come ‘la via, la verità e la vita’ (Gv 14,6), e al fatto che i cristiani, suoi seguaci, erano originariamente chiamati ‘seguaci della Via’ (cfr. At 9,2; 19,9.23; 22,4; 24,14.22). (Vademecum 1.2)

As we prepare for the opening of the #synod2021-2023 this Saturday and Sunday, together, we invoke the Holy Spirit for a fruitful synod on synodality. Have you seen the Prayer for the Synod: Adsumus Sancte Spiritus? If you haven’t, here you have it in several languages 👉https://bit.ly/300CKe0 📍An interesting fact about the prayer: "Every session of the Second Vatican Council began with the prayer Adsumus Sancte Spiritus, the first word of the Latin original meaning, “We stand before You, Holy Spirit,” which has been historically used at Councils, Synods and other Church gatherings for hundreds of years, being attributed to Saint Isidore of Seville (c. 560 - 4 April 636)." #listeningchurch #walkingtogether
