Without prayer, there will be no Synod
Cardinal Mario Grech, General Secretary of the Synod Assembly starting in Rome on 4 October, has invited all the faithful to participate in prayer for the Synod from next Sunday 24 September with Prayers for Intercession. The National Liturgy Office has posted these online here: http://www.nlo.org.nz/…/prayers-for-the-synod-in-rome/
A Vatican News article about Cardinal Grech’s letters to the bishops asking for everyone to join in the prayers is here: http://www.vaticannews.va/…/cardinal-mario-grech…
