ARISE AND BECOME WHO YOU ARE!: The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) issued a Pastoral Letter to Young People on 12 October 2022 in honour of the anniversary of the death of Blessed Carlo Acutis, the first beatified millennial. This Pastoral Letter responds to the CCCB’s virtual conversations with over 200 young people from across Canada, between the ages 12 to 25, held in the fall of 2020. It is meant to inspire young Catholics to live their faith in an extraordinary way, encouraging them to strive toward holiness, and assuring them of the steadfast support and accompaniment of their Priests and Bishops along their individual journeys of faith. Visit the CCCB website to read the full Pastoral Letter and for tools and resources that may help for individual reflection. For more information contact ofl@cccb.ca.
SYNOD 2021-2024 "Communion, Participation and Mission":
The Holy See’s General Secretariat of the Synod issued the Document for the Continental Stage (DCS) of the 2021-2024 Synod: For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission. The Continental Synthesis will be drafted in February 2023 and submitted to the Secretariat of the Synod by March 31, 2023. Begun in October 2021, the “Synod on Synodality” was recently extended by Pope Francis through October 2024, to allow for more time for enhanced discernment from both the members of the Synodal Assembly as well as the People of God. The Universal Phase of the Synod will be held in two parts, the first in October 2023 and the second a year later in October 2024. The Document for the Continental Stage is available at www.synod.va. Bishop Raymond Poisson, CCCB President and member of the writing team for the Canadian National Synthesis, has noted that the DCS “invites us to continue to meet, discuss and question, in a spiritual and prayerful context, in order to bring our Church to where the Spirit is leading it. We have all experienced that this ‘walking together as Church’ does not end; but it does have a goal: to create a space for the mission of every baptized person.” www.cccb.ca

The Prayer of the Synod
Adsumus Sancte Spiritus
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.
Your gift - no matter the amount - will ensure that our mission continues for generations to come.
