Fr. Carrón's message to the communities of CL
Synod of Bishops
Dear Friends,
The Holy Father has offered us another demonstration of esteem for our experience by nominating me a member of the Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, which will take place in Rome from 2nd-23rd October on the theme of the Eucharist.
To see that Fr. Giussani’s educational method and the history of Christian friendship that started with him are deemed useful for the universal Church’s self-awareness moves us profoundly and gives us great responsibility.
I ask you to pray to Our Lady for the outcome of the Synodal Assembly, and that my awareness, and that of each of us, be ever more dominated by gratitude for the event of Christ present, of whom the Holy Father is the supreme sign, and by the will to spend our whole existence in order that the Church’s life flourish in the world as an embrace of hope for every man.
With my thanks to each one of you,
Fr. Julián Carrón
