There are two questions you are invited to reflect on and share about during the Listening Session:
A synodal Church, in announcing the Gospel, "journeys together." How is this "journeying together" happening today in our parish, Archdiocese, and the universal Church?- What is your experience of church…..Your local church and/or the wider church?
- How are we inviting people to journey with us?
- What are the stumbling blocks to people journeying with us?
- On this journey – who is left out, left behind, marching ahead, sitting by the side of the road?
What steps does the Spirit invite us to take in order to grow in our "journeying together?"
The very act of coming together to listen to, and share with each other, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is synodality – journeying together -in action.
“The purpose of this synod is not to produce more documents.” Rather, the Handbook on the Synod continues, the synod “is intended to inspire people to dream about the church we are called to be, to make people’s hopes flourish, to stimulate trust, to bind up wounds, to weave new and deeper relationships, to learn from one another, to build bridges, to enlighten minds, warm hearts, and restore strength to our hands for our common mission.”
