Pope Francis says that the purpose of the Synod is not to produce documents, but to plant dreams, draw forth prophecies and visions, allow hope to flourish, inspire trust, bind up wounds, weave together relationships, awaken a dawn of hope, learn from one another and create a bright resourcefulness that will enlighten minds, warm minds and give strength to our hands!
The Pope has asked all the Bishops, in every diocese of the world, to reach out and listen to all baptised people, young and old, poor and excluded, so that the Bishops can discern what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church.
(The Lord often reveals the most prudent course to be followed to those who do not occupy important positions in the community, said St Benedict)
Our Parish will be involved in this work of listening and will be providing more information soon.
