Croí Nua Spirituality Centre - Synodality A reason for Great Hope

I was at a talk about 

Synodality - A Reason for Great Hope

(4 hours long)

it was in

Croí Nua Spirituality Centre

Galway City

Some pics:





This was a really cool building. I was never there before.


The talk was by:

Julieann Moran. She is the General Secretary of the Synodal Pathway of the Catholic Church in Ireland

She was accidentally included in this pic. I was actually trying to capture the text on the screen


It related Synodality to the Gospel of Mark 2:1-12 

We had to think about what everyone was thinking and feeling in the story

and

what we would do in that situation


Then it was basically talking about synodality and everyone said it was taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R 


Also, we had to sit in circles and do a 


'Conversation of Spirit'

I wasn't really sure what that was. It sounded a bit scary. I think they need to change the name.


Everyone sat in small circles

I had a smart group

Everyone took turns to speak for 2 minutes

Pause

No responses or interruptions.

Then any extra speaking 1 minute

Pause

No responses or interruptions

Then 3 minutes open chat

Apparently, that's how the Synod was run... (different time limits ...  lol )

Pope Francis Memory

I remember collecting coupons in the Irish Daily Mail and the Irish Mail on Sunday to get this commemorative medal. It took weeks, and perhaps a few extra runs to the shop. But now I can look at this and remember Pope Francis in Ireland

My Rite of Admission into the Secular Franciscan Order

Today I had my RITE OF ADMISSION into the Secular Franciscan Order in Galway. I have been learning for a year and now I am progressing in my Formation. It is the Secular Franciscan Order or Lay Franciscans. They gave me a little TAO cross and the Rule. The Rule isn't a book of rules btw It is daily prayers you're encouraged to pray and information on the Order.

Welcome to my Prie-Dieu

Welcome to my Pire-Dieu. A Pire-Dieu is a Prayer Desk in a church which is used for devotional purposes. You can kneel and pray, but it also comes with a little shelf for prayer books and other contemplative items. This is a virtual version of my shelf.  I will post my articles, letters and other Catholic activity here.  Image: Window in the Franciscan Abbey Church, Galway, Ireland.
