With this convocation, Pope Francis invites the whole Church to question itself on synodality:
a decisive theme for the life and mission of the Church.
This site will accompany the two-year journey (2021-2023)

of

reflection and sharing of the whole Church.

The prayers which the Pope wishes to be said during the month of October, ahead of the UN Conference of the Parties to tackle climate change (COP26), which will take place in Glasgow, in late November 2021

1. We pray that all the world leaders  may look beyond narrow self-interest and act in the interests of all who inhabit this planet, especially those in the Global South.

2. We pray for the courage and insight to make meaningful sacrifices as a gesture of solidarity with our sisters and brothers in the Global South.

3. We pray that those with responsibility for industry and commerce will seek ways to work with those in the Global South that gives them dignity and economic justice.
