Greetings to all from Liturgy Brisbane.
In 2021, Pope Francis invited all Catholics to express their dreams, ideas and concerns in preparation for the Synod of Bishops in 2023.
The pope's invitation to discern a path forward was based on the premise that the Holy Spirit inspires all members to be missionary disciples.
Synodality is a way of being Church that integrates communion, participation and mission. It is about journeying together through deep listening and discernment, so that Christ may be made manifest in all aspects of the faith and life of the Church.
Dioceses around Australia have been on an intentional synodal path since the announcement of the Fifth Australian Plenary Council and are now moving into the Implementation Phase of the Plenary Council journey. The Brisbane Archdiocese will celebrate a Synod in September-October 2024 to discern and articulate the practical actions to be undertaken in implementing the decrees and decisions of the Plenary Council.
Expressing his vision for the Synod on Synodality, Pope Francis said:
The purpose of the Synod is not to produce documents but to plant dreams, draw forth prophecies and visions, allow hope to flourish,
inspire trust, bind up wounds, weave together relationships, awaken a dawn of hope, learn from one another
and create a bright resourcefulness that will enlighten minds, warm hearts, give strength to our hands.
The articles in this issue of LitEd explore the synodal challenge of nurturing the co-responsibility of all the lay faithful in the Church and the world.
It is by virtue of baptism, through being anointed as 'priest, prophet and king', that all members of the People of God have become missionary disciples .
The liturgy provides the key to understanding a synodal approach;
while the priest has a particular role to fulfil as the ordained minister, it is the whole assembly of the Body of Christ who celebrates the liturgy.
The assembly are not present as spectators to watch and listen to what the priest is doing but, rather, they join with the priest to participate together in what Christ is doing among them.
Blessings and very best wishes from all of us at Liturgy Brisbane.
