Short Summary of September 8th


PICTURES OF THE DAY
RETREAT DAY FOR THE PASSIONIST GENERAL SYNOD
MONDAY
Morning Prayer for the Feast of the Birth of Mary was led by Fr. Denis Travers in English.

Father Don Senior C.P., from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, (USA) led the Synod members in a retreat day.

During the course of the day he gave three presentations to the assembly
(1) Transformed by Mission -
“Restructuring as being beckoned to an unknown future for the sake of our mission”
(2) Restructuring and the Journey of Christian Life
“The church is on a journey … (it) is not an archaeological museum but is alive, tireless and life-giving; it makes its way forward in unexpected ways” Pope John XIII
(3) Paul, our Brother: Biblical Wisdom for Passionist Apostles
“I think we Passionists who are also struggling with profound change …. can well turn to the example of Paul as an example and inspiration for the work ahead.”

At 5.30 p.m. Fr. Don Senior was Celebrant and Homilist of the Synod Mass.
