𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: Date was changed from Wednesday, March 2nd due to it being Ash Wednesday
Theme: 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 – In a synodal style we make decisions through discernment of what the Holy Spirit is saying through our whole community.

Questions for discussion:

• What is the relationship between consultation and decision-making, and how do we put these into practice?
• Do our decision-making practices listen to the wants/needs of the Parish?
• How do we see our parishioners becoming more aware of how much their faith and insights count — and need to be heard?

Prayer for the Synod:

Adsumus Sancte Spiritus

Every session of the Second Vatican Council began with the prayer Adsumus Sancte Spiritus, the first word of the original Latin, meaning, “We stand before You, Holy Spirit.” As we embrace this Synodal Process, the following prayer invites the Holy Spirit to be at work in us so that we may be a community and a people of grace.

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.

Theme: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 – A synodal Church, in announcing the Gospel, “journeys together.”

Questions for discussion:

• How is this “journeying together” happening today at St. Paul’s?
• What groups or individuals are left on the margins?
• What can we do to get individuals that are left on the margins involved?
