    The Youth Synod in process



    Monday morning we continued our work in small groups sharing amendments to Part I of the Instrumentum Laboris. The groups, are a mixture of Cardinals, Bishops, and a few laity. In all groups the youth spoke freely and offered wonderful reality based suggestions which were received with openness. The youth and the sisters present are having an impact on the groups and on what is being written.

    Tuesday we listened to the summary reports from the groups. There was a lot of resonance and clear focus on engaging in different ways of listening to the youth, including a new openness to them and stressing authentic dialogue. The focus is on creating relationships and journeying together. Some groups mentioned the desire to use modern technology more and becoming a positive part of the digital world.

    Today we began the four minute presentations on Part II. Some focused on the Church allowing the young people to be the protagonists. One presenter invited us to embrace the option for young people. It reminded me of our choice years ago to live our option for the poor. Now, it is the youth who are a large part of “the poor”.
