Walking together with Jesus
Synodality is not a pretty word but it refers to something very positive and exciting for the Church and the world. God is calling the Church to a new way of being together that will harness all the gifts, talents and energy of God’s people for a new missionary era.
Every baptised person has been blessed with different gifts and talents that are for the good of the Church and its mission. The Spirit has been poured into our hearts and is moving each one of us to be fully alive and active in the Church.
Everyone has a part to play, a word to say, a contribution to make and Synodality means gathering all these contributions into the one great missionary thrust of the Church for the good of mankind and the whole world. That includes all of us here in St. Joseph’s.
The Pope, the bishops and priests, every man and woman, young and old have been chosen by God and given the necessary human and spiritual gifts to enrich the life of Church. By walking together with Jesus, and by praying, listening, and discerning together, God wants to renew the Church and fill it with greater vitality, inspiration and creativity to respond to the needs of the world and especially of the poorest and most afflicted of God’s beloved children.
The Catholics of St. Joseph’s Paris join with Catholics all over the world in praying for the special Synod of Bishops in Rome next month. We pray for God’s blessing and guidance on Pope Francis, the bishops and lay people at the Synod and ask that we too will be available to God as indispensable members of the Church ready to make our contribution to the great missionary adventure.
