In a few days, beginning on Oct. 5th, Holy Mother Church will convoke her shepherds in Rome for a Synod on the Holy Scriptures entitled: “The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church.” Synods are a way for the bishops to gather together in order that they might enter deeper into discussions and explanations of various elements of Catholic life. This was one of the innovations that came from Vatican II to enhance the understanding and communication amongst the bishops.
To assist us lay people a new website has been launched to keep us up to date on what is happening there in Rome. The website may be found here. But here is the welcome video which actually sounds kind of exciting - in a history is about to be made kind of way.
I hope that you will find an occasion or two to check out what is taking place that will continue to shape the Church on her earthly pilgrimmage.
