教皇による祈りの意向2022年10月

「人類と教会の使命へのチャレンジのために」
教皇による祈りの意向

🌸　父と子と聖霊のみ名によって。アーメン。　🌸

🌸　10月の祈りの意向

　「シノドスする」ってどういう意味でしょう？一緒に歩む：syn-odという意味です。これはギリシャ語で「共に歩む」、「同じ道を歩む」という意味です。

　そして、これこそ神が第三の千年期の教会に期待することであり、教会が道を行く民であること、共に旅をしなければならないという意識を取り戻すことなのです。

　このようなシノダルなスタイルを持つ教会は、耳を傾ける教会であり、耳を傾けることは単に聞くだけではないことを理解しています。

　それは、多様性の中で互いに耳を傾け、教会の外の人々にも門戸を開くことを意味します。意見を集めることでも、議会を開くことでもありません。シノドスとは調査ではなく、主人公である聖霊に耳を傾けることなのです。祈ることなのです。祈りなくして、シノドスはありえません。

　この機会を利用して、神のスタイルである「親密さ」の教会になりましょう。そして、注意深く耳を傾けながら、シノドスの道を歩んでいるすべての神の民に感謝を捧げようではありませんか。

　福音に忠実で、福音を伝える勇気を持ち続ける教会が、ますます高まるシノダルの雰囲気の中で生き、連帯と友愛と歓迎の共同体となるように祈ろうではありませんか。

教皇フランシスコ

アーメン。

POPE’S INTENTIONS FOR THE CHALLENGES
OF HUMANITY AND MISSION OF THE CHURCH

🌸　In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.　🌸

Pope’s Prayer Intention – For a Church open to everyone

We pray for the Church; ever faithful to, and courageous in preaching the Gospel, may the Church be a community of solidarity, fraternity and welcome, always living in an atmosphere of synodality.

October Prayer Intention 2022

　What does it mean “to synod”? It means walking together: syn-od. This is what it means in Greek: “to walk together” and to walk on the same road.
　And this is what God expects of the Church of the third millennium –that it regain its awareness of being a people on the road and of having to travel together.
　A Church with this synodal style is a Church that listens, that knows that listening is more than just hearing.
　It means listening to each other in our diversity and opening doors to those outside the Church. It’s not about gathering opinions, nor holding a parliament. The synod isn’t a survey; it’s about listening to the protagonist, the Holy Spirit. It’s about praying. Without prayer, there will be no Synod.
　Let us take advantage of this opportunity to be a Church of closeness, which is God’s style –closeness. And let us give thanks to all the people of God who, with their attentive listening, are walking the synodal way.
　Let us pray that the Church, ever faithful to the Gospel and courageous in preaching it, may live in an increasing atmosphere of synodality and be a community of solidarity, fraternity, and welcome.
Pope Prancis

Monthly Prayer

Let all be one! May we all be one!
Good Father, we want to do our part and
live the words that your son Jesus spoke to you.
We wish to live out fully the mission
we received at Baptism.
We dream of being a Church in a communion of love
that is collaborative and missionary,
committed to the challenges of the world
in which everyone can feel at home and can participate.
We dream of being a Church
that listens to the renewing of your Holy Spirit,
a Church of closeness, compassion and tenderness,
that does not separate from life
but takes charge of the fragilities and poverty of our time.
Help us to be a different Church open to your newness
in which we all walk together. Amen.

Offering Prayer

Good Father, I know You are with me.
Here I am on this new day.
Place my heart once more
next to the Heart of your Son Jesus,
who is giving himself for me and who comes to me in the Eucharist.
May your Holy Spirit make me Your friend and apostle,
available for your mission of compassion.
I place in Your hands my joys and hopes,
my works and sufferings, everything that I am and have,
in communion with my brothers and sisters of this Worldwide Prayer Network.
With Mary, I offer you my day for the mission of the Church
and for the prayer intentions of the Pope and my Bishop for this month.
Amen.

Attitudes in your daily life

• With Rosary, everyday pray for the Synods and for a Church open to everyone.
• Synodality
  “If we speak of a synodal Church, we cannot be satisfied with the form only, but we need the substance, the instruments and the structures that favor dialogue and interaction in the People of God, especially between priests and laity.” (Pope Francis). How have you participated in the synodal journey of your community?
• Encounter
  “Let us not forget the style of God that will help us: closeness, compassion, and tenderness” (Pope Francis). Welcome your brothers and sisters in need.
• Listening
  “The Synod also offers us an opportunity to be a Church of listening, to take a break from our hustle and bustle, to curb our pastoral anxieties and stop to listen. Listen to the Spirit in worship and prayer” (Pope Francis). Are you available to listen to the pursuits of your brothers and sisters in the Church and those who feel outside of it?
• Discernment
  “The Synod is an itinerary of effective spiritual discernment which we do not undertake to give a pretty image of ourselves but to collaborate better with the work of God in history” (Pope Francis). Search for opportunities to form yourself in Christian discernment.
• Availability for Mission
  “In the ecclesial body, the only starting point, and there can be no other, is Baptism, our source of life, from which we derive an identical dignity as children of God, even in the difference of ministries and charisms. Therefore, we are all called to participate in the life and mission of the Church” (Pope Francis). Do you participate in some way in the mission of the Church whether it be in your parish, school, group, or community?
