The National Pre- Synodal Assembly took place on Saturday 18 June 2022 in Athlone and Clonmacnoise
Delegates from the 26 dioceses on the island of Ireland; Religious Congregations; representatives from other Catholic groups and lay ecclesial associations; members of the clergy; members of the Synodal Pathway Steering Committee and Task Group.
In March 2021, the Bishops’ Conference announced a synodal pathway for the Catholic Church in Ireland, leading to the organisation of a national synodal assembly. A five-year timeline is envisaged for this work comprised of two phases:
(i)a two-year phase of listening and discernment, and;
(ii)followed by a three-year phase of planning and implementation
The initial two-year phase coincides with the Universal Synod on Synodality announced by Pope Francis and taking place from 2021-2023 and so the listening work undertaken in Ireland for the Universal Synod is integrated with the preparations for Ireland’s national Synodal Pathway. Tomorrow’s National Pre-Synodal Assembly will see diocesan delegates, and other participating groups, gathering together to prepare the national synthesis, which will be sent to the Vatican to feed into the Universal Synod.

A BRIEF HISTORY of
OLD SAINT ANDREW'S PARISH CHURCH
Built in 1706, this simple, elegant church is the oldest surviving structure used for worship south of Virginia. It is South Carolina’s only remaining colonial cruciform church.
St. Andrew's Parish Church (commonly known as Old St. Andrew's) was one of ten Anglican churches in South Carolina established in 1706 by the Church Act. It was built to serve the Anglican planters along the Ashley River, a thriving tidal waterway that connected them to the city of Charles Town and to each other.
The ancient building holds a full schedule of worship services every Sunday. Some of its earliest counterparts are still used, but less often. (None is older.) Others have been replaced or augmented by newer buildings, some centuries old themselves, some modern. Still others have vanished, or their ruins stand in eerie silence to ages past. Visitors to this national treasure see a beautifully restored building, but the church hides a past that has left it for dead many times.
Rice, indigo, and slaves brought prosperity to the lands along the Ashley River, where some of the wealthiest plantations in British North America were located. The church was expanded into the shape of a cross in 1723 to accommodate a growing population. It survived a major fire in the 1760s but was quickly rebuilt inside its existing walls. But the parish declined before the Revolution and into the antebellum era. Ministering to the slaves, at the church and three plantation chapels, became the focus of the clergy. From 1851 to 1891, the Rev. John Grimke Drayton, the renowned horticulturalist at Magnolia-on-the-Ashley just north of St. Andrew’s, was rector.
The church was one of the few buildings along the Ashley that Union troops did not burn to the ground during the Civil War. It became a polling place and did not reopen until 1876, eleven years after the war ended. The parish found itself at the epicenter of two of the most important events of late nineteenth century Charleston: the phosphate mining boom along the Ashley and the Great Earthquake of 1886, which caused significant damage to the church. After Rev. Drayton died in 1891, St. Andrew's lay dormant for the next fifty-seven years.
In 1948, Episcopalians moving to the West Ashley suburbs reopened the dilapidated church, even though it was far away from new residential developments. Dogged perseverance brought slow but continual improvements. A parish house was built, then expanded twice in quick succession. Hurricane Hugo (1989) caused major damage to the graveyard. Into the twenty-first century, the church undertook the most extensive restoration in its history and celebrated its tercentennial. In 2013, after undergoing a deliberate process of discernment, Old St. Andrew's aligned with the Diocese of South Carolina and left The Episcopal Church.
For more than 300 years, St. Andrew's has survived, indeed has thrived, against all odds.
Catholic sisters, priests, and brothers have been involved with helping immigrants and refugees for much of U.S. history. Sister Rachel Sena, O.P. shares a smile with two of her literacy students at Maya Ministry in Lake Worth, Florida.

God’s Word Helped Me Overcome Satan’s Temptation Twice
By Sun Yue
One day, my mother-in-law told me delightedly that the Lord Jesus has returned in flesh. Afterward, she invited other sisters to testify to me patiently about God’s work of the last days. Through their fellowship, I knew that Almighty God is the second coming of the Lord Jesus. So, I gaily accepted God’s new work.God’s Word Helped Me Overcome Satan’s Temptation Twice God’s word was so attractive that once I had the time, I would read it and learn to sing hymns. The more I read God’s word, the greater energy I had to believe in God, the sweeter I felt at heart, and the more released my spirit was. I couldn’t say how happy I was in my heart!...
Two days later, the sister who was watering me came for a visit. I told her, “My eye would hurt severely once I read this book. You’d better take it away and give it to others. I really can’t read it.” After hearing my words, she fellowshiped with me patiently, “Sister, we’re fortunate to catch up with the work of true God. Satan and the evil spirits won’t possibly let us go and follow true God to be saved. Especially when we have just accepted God’s new work and haven’t understood much of all the truths expressed by God, this is the chance that Satan will easily take advantage of to disturb our reading God’s word and destroy our normal relationship with God. God’s word says: ‘The work of the Holy Spirit is a form of proactive guidance and positive enlightenment. It does not allow people to be passive. It brings them solace, gives them faith and resolve and it enables them to pursue being made perfect by God. When the Holy Spirit works, people are able to actively enter; they are not passive or forced, but are proactive.’ ‘The work of the Holy Spirit is proactive progress, while the work of Satan is regression and passivity, disobedience toward God, opposition to God, loss of faith in God, and unwillingness to even sing songs or get up and dance. That which comes from the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit is not forced upon you, but is especially natural. If you follow it, you will have the truth, and if you don’t, then afterward there will be reproach. If it is the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, then nothing you do will be interfered with or constrained, you will be set free, there will be a path to practice in your actions, and you will not be subject to any restraints, and be able to act upon the will of God. The work of Satan brings many things that cause interference to you, it makes you unwilling to pray, too lazy to eat and drink the words of God, and undisposed to live the life of the church, and it estranges you from the spiritual life’ (‘The Work of the Holy Spirit and the Work of Satan’). God’s word tells us clearly the manifestations of the work of the Holy Spirit and the work of Satan. The work of the Holy Spirit is completely positive, particularly natural and soft, without forcing man to do this or that; when the Holy Spirit moves man and enlightens man, man will feel liberated in spirit and his relationship with God will be more and more normal. Whereas the work of Satan is absolutely negative, aimed at disturbing and destroying our normal relationship with God; and Satan always does this through great force, distracting our mind from quieting ourselves to read God’s word or become close to God. Gradually, we stay away from God and betray God; this is Satan’s base purpose. Just like the environment you encounter today: Your eye hurts, this is out of Satan’s disturbance. Satan wants to force us to quit reading God’s word, so that we may stay away from God and betray God. We should see things from a spiritual perspective, increase our discernment, and see through Satan’s trick.”

Hundreds to be baptized at Easter
Bishop Olmsted welcomes future Catholics at Rite of Election
By Rebecca Bostic, The Catholic Sun
February 21, 2008
Coming into the Catholic Church has been a long process for Brad Mortz.
A member of St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish, Mortz got a glimpse of the universal Church he is joining during the Feb. 10 Rite of Election at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral.
The St. Gabriel community recognized Mortz and his fellow catechumens and candidates at a ceremony that morning. But gathering with all the catechumens preparing for baptism into the Church throughout the Phoenix Diocese offered something more.
“To be welcomed into the diocese was very nice,” he said. “Also, to get to meet Bishop [Thomas J.] Olmsted personally was great.”
The bishop led the celebration of the rite and was pleased to see so many catechumens who will be baptized on Easter.
“The Rite of Election is one of the most moving and gratifying events in the life of a bishop,” Bishop Olmsted said. “It is also a vital moment in the life of each catechumen whose own discernment of God’s call is formally ratified and celebrated.”

Lord my God, are the day and minutes expendable to you? Is your glory so great that you can create something so beautiful as the sunrise that last only minutes and will never be seen again? Are you so mighty that you can create nebula, galaxies and stars that last for millions of years? Tell me how you judge the beauty that you have created and decide how long it is to last. Only you have the power and discernment to make such decisions and create such beauty. -Amen

Transcript:
"Thursday, May 30th.
Some Loyal (!) citizens are showing their sympathies for Lincoln and his acts, and a few who but a short time ago publicly declared that their fate was with Virginia have so modified their views as to be willing to accept an office, and to take the obnoxious oath prepared by this infamously corrupt administration, and I record in this connection with great regret the name of W.D.M...once esteemed by me as a gentleman above reproach. R.B..., Son C.S.H...L. McK... T.F.C..., T.V..., & T.E... are freely spoken of as being supporters of the tyrannic crew who now control the old ship of State."
"Friday, May 31st
There is such a deep seated opposition on the part of our citizens to the occupancy of our city by the miserable bands now in our midst that a stranger with the least discernment might perceive the hostility upon the part of almost the whole of the community, as it exhibits itself in the perfect indifference with which officers and men are treated. Indeed our patriotic ladies carry their hatred of these mercenaries to such an extent that they have incurred the heartiest displeasure of these hirelings."
Mother Doreen has left New Day Temple of Faith in Malvonia, Ohio and moved to Kentucky to help her diabetic sister. Her sister’s husband, a truck driver, pretty much lives on the road. Mother Doreen feels in her spirit that she’s needed to intervene on her sister’s behalf, especially when the assistant pastor of her sister’s church seems to be there just a little bit too much. Her suspicions really grow when her sister’s belly does too. Is it Mother Doreen’s spirit of discernment warning her that things in her sister’s home and church aren’t what they seem, or is Mother Doreen just a busybody church mother sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong?
Back in Malvonia, Tamarra and Maeyl’s relationship is moving along nicely. She even has a feeling that the man she knows God placed in her life is going to propose to her. But suspicions arise when someone from Maeyl’s past shows up at New Day Temple of Faith, unexpected and unwelcome. Will their relationship be able to withstand the strain?
Follow the New Day Divas series by E.N. Joy as this soap opera in print brings back these and all of your other favorite blessed and highly favored characters whose antics will keep you entertained until the last page.
"Perilous Is the Road to the Heavenly Kingdom" (Gospel Movie Trailer)
Zhong Xin is a preacher at a house church in Mainland China. He has believed in the Lord for many years, and has been suffering capture and persecution of the CCP. He hates the CCP deeply and has already seen clearly that the CCP is a satanic regime treating God as its enemy. In recent years, he has seen that the Chinese Communist government and the religious world have persisted in wildly condemning, capturing, and persecuting the Church of the Eastern Lightning. But the Eastern Lightning not only survives, but also continues to thrive and grow. He thinks it is unbelievable and starts to reflect: Is the Eastern Lightning the appearance and work of the Lord? Zhong Xin also finds that what the CCP and the religious world speak to condemn the Eastern Lightning are all rumors and lies. In order to find out the truth, he leads brothers and sisters to investigate the Eastern Lightning. After the fellowship of the preachers from the Church of Almighty God, most of them firmly believe that the words expressed by Almighty God are the truth and the voice of God. Almighty God is the return of the Lord Jesus. However, the Church of Almighty God is suppressed and condemned by the Chinese Communist government and is wildly opposed and condemned by the religious pastors and elders. Faced with this situation, some are confused: Since the work of Almighty God is the true way, why does it suffer the furious resistance and condemnation of those in power and the religious world? Through reading Almighty God's words and listening to the fellowship of the preachers from the Church of Almighty God, these brothers and sisters understand the source of mankind's resistance of God, and see clearly that why the road to the heavenly kingdom is so perilous. They have discernment in the truth-hating and God-opposing essence of the satanic CCP regime and the religious leaders. In the end, Zhong Xin and others free themselves from the control and bondage of Satan's influence without hesitation. They accept Almighty God's work in the last days and truly return before God's throne.

The God-given ability to know why things happen.

Other people can be particularly helpful as we try to discern what is really our inner guidance and what is fear or insecurity. . . . Quakers often ask a small group to help a person with discernment . . . Quakers call this a clearness committee, and its work is: to seek God's guidance, not human answers; to listen deeply to the person in need of clearness; to ask questions that will help that person listen inwardly; and to refrain from giving advice.
The hope is that by listening together, a group of people can hear the Truth more clearly than one person alone.
~ The Wisdom to Know the Difference, by Eileen Flanagan
The Heart
The heart's the revelator of all that is hidden;
It speaks of things' beyond
the discernment of thoughts;
It's the fulfiller of the those unfulfilled truths:
The center of eccentricities...
It never falters from all truths
but brings out the truth in plainness
of the whole meaning!
Foremost
It's the great plantation of God
Where the promises of the fathers
was made for all generations;
It's the vineyard of the Lord
Where the gospel is wealth for all
While the Holy Ghosts reveals
against all contentions!
It's the softness of all spots within
A weakened part of the whole person
Where the Spirit dwells in glory
in an eternal round of the soul.
It's the center isle of the universe
Where the celestial Gods lives in heaven
Where righteousness is flower for eternity
While the priesthood retained
the fulness of times.
The heart's Heavenly Father's celestial gift
For all his creations where life lives
It's the ultimate communication line
a man possess
Installed for a divine purpose of times.

In March 2021, the Bishops’ Conference announced a synodal pathway for the Catholic Church in Ireland, leading to the organisation of a national synodal assembly. A five-year timeline is envisaged for this work comprised of two phases:
(i)a two-year phase of listening and discernment, and;
(ii)followed by a three-year phase of planning and implementation
The initial two-year phase coincides with the Universal Synod on Synodality announced by Pope Francis and taking place from 2021-2023 and so the listening work undertaken in Ireland for the Universal Synod is integrated with the preparations for Ireland’s national Synodal Pathway. Tomorrow’s National Pre-Synodal Assembly will see diocesan delegates, and other participating groups, gathering together to prepare the national synthesis, which will be sent to the Vatican to feed into the Universal Synod.
