It is a “time to listen to our brothers and sisters” of their hopes and expectations from the Church.
. His Holiness, Pope Francis clearly defines the Synod as a “process of becoming, a process that involves the local Churches” in order to “forge a style of communion and participation directed to the mission”. Let us try to make use of this grace-filled time at our disposal to seriously review and renew our commitment to the mission of Christ.
To conclude, may I request you to spare some time to read and understand the meaning and the purpose of the Synod. I wish that we could come together for a Recollection at the community level. Let us educate ourselves in order to educate the faithful who are under our care. I do pray that this Synod would help us to “look within” and discern rightly God's message for the Church today and for the years to come! I wish you all a good preparation to celebrate the feast of the Mother of Divine Providence. May she continue to intercede for us that our province and communities may be abundantly blessed with the providence of her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
