Synodality – Have Your Say! Closing date Pentecost Sunday May 23rd…

The Irish Bishops are inviting submissions on the Synodality Pathway.

It’s an important opportunity and even though many may feel we’ve been here before, Jesuit Gerry O’Hanlon spoke on Faith Alive on Midwest Radio about why this time it’s different. And it’s different because Pope Francis is committed to a synodal church, one that truly welcomes and embraces the gifts, talents, experiences and leadership abilities of all the baptised.
It starts by posing the question ‘What does God want from the Church in Ireland at this time?’
Submissions can be made on www.catholicbishops.ie/synod and must be in by Pentecost Sunday- May 23rd 2021.

A Time to Pause

Chris McDonnell, in the Catholic Times, reflects on how we might beneficially use Lent this year.
“It is a time to ask questions, a pause time on a journey, a time when we might re-examine the baggage we carry from month to month, maybe a time to lighten the load.”
“So maybe there is a good question that we could all address this Lent, how might the Church meet the needs of the community without resorting to worn platitudes? …. We should encourage each other to face reality and trust that we might follow God’s Spirit as it moves in our hearts.”
