C&SI - Pope Francis Synod on Synodality - 24 Oct 2021 (S1E13)

On this podcast John and Shane begin to unpack the Synod on Synodality called by Pope Francis which formally began on 10th October 2021 in Rome and will continue until Oct 2023. We look at the meaning of "Synod" and with the help of a few people we try to share various talks and thoughts on the whole process and the opportunity it presents for the whole People of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  We have some thoughts from:Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich of Luxembourg who will serve as relator general (chairman) of the Synod of Bishops on synodality.Some thoughts from Limerick Diocese - Bishop Brenda, Rose O'Connor and Fr Chris O'DonnellBrief homily from Fr Dan Lane from Sunday Mass on October 10th with the invitation to the people of God to participate in the whole process.We have our regular run through the up coming saints of the week and of course our reflection on the Sunday Gospel (Mark 10:46-52)We have also have quite a long segment this week with local notices: Advent reflection with PrayAsYouGoAdvent at the Abbey series of talks (at Glenstal Abbey during Advent)FCJ House of Spirituality House in Spanish Point up coming events during November(tell Noirin we sent you :) )Mount St Joseph Abbey Roscrea Restoration Fund AppealSynod 2021 - 2023 - "For a Synodal Church - Communion, participation, missionThe Church of God is convoked in Synod.With this convocation, Pope Francis invites the whole Church to question itself on synodality:a decisive theme for the life and mission of the Church.Pope on Synod: The participation of everyone, guided by the Holy SpiritHomily of Pope Francis at the Mass opening the Synod on Synodality - 10th Oct 2021Limerick Diocese local launch of the Universal SynodPope to Rome's faithful: Synodality expresses the nature of the ChurchWebsite of the Universal SynodListening to the Faithful: Vatican releases Synod Preparatory Document'Click To Pray' 2.0 at the service of the synodal processText us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
