Pray for a synodal Church
In order to “walk together” and listen to the Holy Spirit we need to pray. There can be no synodal way without personal and community prayer. Prayer prepares our hearts to listen carefully to others and helps us to discern the action of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
In his letter to those brothers and sisters called to a monastic and contemplative life, Cardinal Mario Grech invites these men and women to send their prayers so “to become instruments in the hands of the Spirit in order to guide the universal ecclesial community and pray for the synodal Church”.
