Reflection
Lord Jesus, touch our eyes so that we may see the signs of your presence in our lives and in the world.
Touch our ears so that we may hear your word.
Touch our tongues so that we may profess our faith.
Touch our hands so that we may give and receive.
Touch our feet so that we may walk in your paths.
Touch our minds so that we may understand your ways.
Touch our wills so that they may be in tune with your will.
Touch our hearts so that we may bring your love to our brothers and sisters, to the praise and glory of God.
Amen

Universal Synod 2023
Archbishop Malcolm is calling us to take part in the listening phase of the Universal Synod on synodality 2023, which Pope Francis has invited us all to join. Although we have already engaged with the process as part of Synod 2020, we may find ourselves in a different place on our journey. This may include fresh insights, which will be submitted to the Bishops’ Conference with the summary of the listening phases of Synod 2020. Download discussion questions and submit your responses from 10 Jan to 10 March by clicking on the link below.
