  • Synodal Process
    In these days, the Catholic Church throughout the
    world and in Ireland is beginning a series of conversations about what
    God wants of his people
    at this time. These conversations are often referred to as a Synodal Process. “Synodal” comes from a Greek word which
    means “walking together”.
    This Sunday, 17th October we mark the opening of
    this Synodal Process entitled, For a synodal
    Church: communion, participation and mission. This
    Synodal Process coincides with the start of the twoyear Synodal Pathway for the Catholic Church in
    Ireland which will lead, in time, to a National Synodal Assembly in Ireland.
    We pray that the next two years will be a time of
    prayer, listening and discernment, involving a consultative conversation. This will allow all people -
    both within the Church and in society at large, to
    share their insights into the Catholic Church in Ireland – past, present and future – so that we can prepare for a National Synodal Assembly in the coming
    years.
    Pope Francis has asked us to pray continually for
    the success of this synodal process. He asks that
    we use the words of a very ancient prayer attributed
    to St Isodore of Seville who lived in the 6th century.
    This prayer has been used at Councils and Synods
    of the Church since ancient times.
    We stand before You, Holy Spirit,
    as we gather together in Your name.
    With You alone to guide us,
    make yourself at home in our hearts;
    Teach us the way we must go
    and how we are to pursue it.
    We are weak and sinful;
    do not let us promote disorder.
    Do not let ignorance
    lead us down the wrong path
    nor partiality influence our actions.
    Let us find in You our unity
    so that we may journey together to eternal life
    and not stray from the way of truth
    and what is right.
    All this we ask of You,
    Who are at work in every place and time
    in the communion of the Father and the Son,
    forever and ever. Amen    October 18, 2021
