Synod on Synodality with Fr. Rob
Manage episode 447595650 series 92117
In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss the Synod on Synodality and how we ought to be governed. Right now, the Church engages in the second phase of the Synod on Synodality. There are three works of the Church in our world: sanctification, governance, and teaching. The Church holds these three works in tension to successfully fulfill Christ's mission. As the Church operates, it implicitly teaches about how God the Father's relationship is with us.
Part of the Church's role shepherds the people to the greener pastures. The Synod shows us that the laity share in governance and can approach their pastors to provide input into decisions and direction of the parish. Laity, in turn, are called to follow their pastor's decision and trust them as representatives of Christ.
Previous Episode
Listen to the previous episode where. Fr. Rob, Fr. George, discussed what idle talk is and how it can harm us and our relationship with God. As Catholics, we believe words have power: e.g. the Word became flesh, God’s word, etc. Today’s discussion reflects on James 1:26 that states, “If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless.” Gossip and idle talk are distinct. Gossip involves harming the reputation of another. Idle talk does not have an aim and can harm the speaker. It’s easy to let our tongue go free and do harm.
Fr. Rob offers three questions to bring into one’s evening examen that focuses on our speech:
- Is what we said true?
- What is our motive of what we say?
- Are we speaking to someone for selfish reasons?
- Is what I’m saying factual or am I qualified to speak about this?
The next time we go to speak, let’s reflect on the content and the motives of our speak. We can turn our attention away from ourselves and more on the other and on higher goods.
