The leader of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines has underscored the central priorities of a “synodal” church in anticipation of this week’s commencement of the general assembly of bishops at the Vatican.
During his sermon at the International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage in Antipolo on May 31, Bishop David urged the congregation to offer prayers for the bishops gathering as a synod, hoping it would usher in “a fresh Pentecost for the Universal Church.” Additionally, Estela Padilla, a lay Filipino theologian, is participating as one of the 70 non-bishop members appointed by the Pope, with voting rights.
The Synod on Synodality represents a profound journey of discernment firmly grounded in the guidance of the Holy Spirit.It encapsulates her identity as the People of God, journeying together and coming together in assemblies, summoned by the Lord Jesus through the empowering direction of the Holy Spirit, all with the mission of proclaiming the Gospel.
