Pope Francis’ prayer intention for the month of October is for the Synod.
“Mission is at the heart of the Church,” Pope Francis said in a video released Oct. 2. “And even more when a Church is in Synod, this synodal dynamic alone carries its missionary vocation forward — that is, her response to Jesus’ mandate to proclaim the Gospel.”
The Synod on Synodality, which brings clerics and laity together for nearly one month of discussions, is taking place at the Vatican from Oct. 4–29.
The Holy Father recalled that “nothing ends here,” but instead “we are continuing an ecclesial journey here.”
