Oración para el sínodo


Señor Jesús,
tu Iglesia en camino hacia el Sínodo
dirige su mirada a todos los jóvenes del mundo.
Te pedimos para que con audacia
 se hagan cargo de la propia vida,
vean las cosas más hermosas y profundas
y conserven siempre el corazón libre.

Acompañados por guías sapientes y generosos,
ayúdalos a responder a la llamada
que Tú diriges a cada uno de ellos,
para realizar el propio proyecto de vida
y alcanzar la felicidad.
Mantén abiertos sus corazones a los grandes sueños
y haz que estén atentos al bien de los hermanos.

Como el Discípulo amado,
estén también ellos al pie de la Cruz
para acoger a tu Madre, recibiéndola de Ti como un don.
Sean testigos de la Resurrección
y sepan reconocerte vivo junto a ellos
anunciando con alegría que Tú eres el Señor.
Amén.



(Papa Francisco)

Quelques enjeux et défis pour le synode des jeunes Mercredi 3 octobre s’ouvrira le synode des évêques sur « les jeunes, la foi et le discernement vocationnel ». Celui-ci se déroulera à Rome du 3 au 28 octobre sous la présidence du Pape François en présence de représentants du monde entier. Après deux ans de préparation marqués par divers processus et démarches de consultation afin de permettre une réelle écoute des jeunes eux-mêmes, ce temps fort de prière, d’écoute, d’échanges et de discernement prendra appui sur la nouvelle constitution apostolique sur le Synode des Evêques Episcopalis communio publiée récemment par le Pape François. Voulu dans la continuité des deux synodes sur la famille, ce synode ordinaire - temps ecclésial privilégié de « marche ensemble » à l’écoute de l’Esprit - s’inscrit comme une étape importante de la dynamique de transformation missionnaire de l’Eglise portée par le Pape François et souhaitée par de très nombreux fidèles et paste...

Reflecting on the experience of the synod of the Youth

The Synod, a time of grace Ten days after the end of my mission at the Bishops' Conference on August 31, after completing my move from my Xavier community of Vanves to Toronto for the beginning of November, I arrived in Rome to prepare myself for the Youth Synod which took place from October 3 to 28. I was appointed by Pope Francis to participate as an observer in this ecclesial event that will so mark for me the end of ten years of ministry at the National Service for the Evangelization of Youth and for Vocations. I received this appointment as a very beautiful gift to close this stage of my life, and at the same time  I read it again today as a new beginning, an entry into a new period of sabbatical, opening up new horizons that are still unknown. Beyond what I could have imagined, this synod was an amazing and wonderful experience of the universal Church. A time of common listening to the Holy Spirit, a time of passage, like a pilgrimage, a blessed time of encounters...

Holy Father, Synod fathers, participants and young people The second part of the “Working Document” highlights the link between the fullness of life and the realization of one’s vocation, intended as God’s dream for a person through which one attains his or her happiness in order to contribute to the happiness of others. This being the case, vocational accompaniment is a process, which not only aims at understanding one’s specific life choice, but also living the choice of life in enduring love and commitment. This calls for consideration of the spaces within which to foster and accompany vocations in the young. In most cases, the basic sense of purpose in life develops in the family and then complemented by other environments where the young people spend their lives. As a Salesian Sister engaged with young people who find themselves on the streets and in charitable institutions in Kenya, i realize that many Kenyans are “caught in between” a social, economic and political syst...
