My Synod group began last week, ages 50-90, men and women. Responses ranged from missing Sunday Mass, missing the community. One person shared that at the beginning of the pandemic the decision was made to join hearts with those in the Amazonian region who have Eucharist infrequently; a fasting time. Personally I yearn to hear from Indigenous persons, those 30 to 49, gender diverse. Does this mean I can join more than one Synod reflection group? “Today fulfilled in your hearing” , my heart is open. Two people that have challenged me: Gustavo Guttieries, Thick Nhat Hanh.
