However, this journey traveled together not only unites\nus more deeply to one another as the People of God, but also sends us to carry\nout our mission as a prophetic witness that encompasses the entire human\nfamily, together with our Christian denominations and other faith traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2026 A Synodal Church is a Church \u201cgoing out\u201d, a missionary Church, \u201cwith open doors\u201d\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Symbolism and reality of synodality<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the event logo is significant for understanding what\nsynodality is all about. It is made by the artist Isabelle de Senilhes. It\nportrays a great majestic tree, full of wisdom and light. On high a shining\nsun, symbol of the Eucharist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the lower part of it, we see a people walking together,\nnot stopping, a reflection of the etymology of the word synod. 15 figures\nsummarize humanity and its diversity of life, generation and origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There is no hierarchy or distances between these people,<\/strong> they walk in the horizontality of the same plane (of God): young, old, men, women, adolescents, children, lay people, religious, parents, spouses, single, healthy, with special abilities; the bishop and the nun are not in front of them, but among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fact to highlight: many of the people, children and\nadolescents open the way, this in reference to the words of Jesus in the\nGospel: \u201cI praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because you have kept\nthese hidden things to the wise and learned and have revealed them to the\nsimple people. Yes, Father, it was to your liking that way \u201d(Mt 11:25).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the key point is not the pontificate, or the church as an institutional structure, but <strong>Jesus Christ who loves his people and nurtures hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More information about the Synod: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synod.va\/en.html\">https:\/\/www.synod.va\/en.html<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Sisters Hospitallers we want to echo the process that will begin tomorrow, October 9, 2021, and that will last two years, the Synod.
