This is how Pope Francis arrived at the doors of the Synod Hall in the Vatican, where Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Prefect of the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life was waiting for him.
Once inside, the Pope was greeted with applause from the participants in the annual meeting with leaders of ecclesial movements.
In his speech, he pointed out that the movements that are “closed” must be erased because they are not ecclesial. He then raised several questions for reflection.
POPE FRANCIS
What does God want from me, what does God want from us at this time, in this situation? Is what I have in mind, what we as a group have in mind, really the “thought of God”? Let us remember that the protagonist of the synodal journey is the Holy Spirit, not us.
The participants present were from 95 of the 117 ecclesial groups recognized by the Holy See. The central theme of the meeting was synodality.
