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.

The God-given ability to know why things happen.
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." - 1 Samuel 16:7

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.

Introduction
Christian Testimonies | 2019 Gospel Movie | "Faith in God 2 – After the Church Falls" | en.godfootsteps.org/videos/faith-in-God-2-movie.html | The True Story of Chinese Christians
Yu Congguang is an evangelist who makes a dangerous escape from a CCP mass arrest. Afterward, he makes his way to the home of Three-Self Patriotic Movement Christian Chen Song'en. Chen Song'en's Three-Self Patriotic Movement church is demolished by the CCP, and some in the church, after listening to the teachings of their pastors and elders, pray for the CCP regime, believing that by doing so, they are keeping the words of the Lord Jesus, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44). However, many believers are confused, because despite the fact that they prayed for blessings for the CCP for so many years, the CCP not only failed to repent, but even demolished their church. They wonder: Does praying for the CCP actually accord with God's will? The congregation argues about the question but can't reach a conclusion. Later, through reading God's words and the fellowship of Yu Congguang and his associate, Chen Song'en and the others learn the true meaning of the Lord Jesus' teaching to "love your enemies." They also gain discernment of the CCP's satanic essence, which is to resist God and loathe the truth, and clearly see the dangerous consequences of following the pastors and elders down the Three-Self path and relying on the protection of a satanic ruling power …

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
As people we have our own particular capacities and discernments which we use as apparatuses to evaluate circumstances and settle on choices yet when we discover opposing perspectives and encounters of others, we are hurled into a turmoil of doubt.

Bishop Olmsted ordains three men to the priesthood
By Ambria Hammel | June 5, 2010 | The Catholic Sun
For the the third straight year, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted ordained three men to the priesthood.
The bishop conferred the sacrament of Holy Orders on transitional deacons Matt Henry, Chad King and John Parks at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral.
"Seeing the love of the people for their priests [during the procession] gives us such a witness of their love and support," Fr. King said after the ordination.
Fr. Henry said the laying on of hands by the bishop was a special moment.
"My only part was just to say yes to that," he said, referring to the prayer of ordination.
Fr. Parks also noted the laying on of hands.
"I just felt that I was being reconfigured in my person," he said. Fr. Parks also mentioned receiving the Eucharist during the orination.
"I was just struck once again that God becomes the Eucharist for us," he said, underscoring God's humility.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted said all three priests know well the challenges that the Church faces today, including the shortcomings of its members, “but without losing heart, they are ready and eager to be faithful priests of the Lord Jesus” and convincingly share the faith.
“The three men I have the honor to ordain this year are quite different in personality but united by a deep love for the Lord Jesus, and an eagerness to hand on the good news of Christ in convincing ways,” Bishop Olmsted said in an interview prior to the June 5 ordination.
"From this day forward the people of God will call you 'father,' because you will love people in His name," the bishop told the new priests. He encouraged them to listen to confessions with compassion and called them to defend the unborn and the immigrant.
All three priests cited their involvement in youth ministry in the Phoenix Diocese as part of their discernment process.
Each newly ordained will celebrate their first Mass at their home parish June 6. The Mass times are staggered so the new priests can support each other from the pew.
Phoenix’s three new priests fit right in with the 440 men awaiting priestly ordination nationwide.
Of the 339 diocesan and religious ordinands who responded to the survey by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University, 72 percent are Caucasian. Half to three-quarters served in some parish ministry before entering the seminary.
More than half are between the ages of 25 and 34, roughly the same as last year. The median age of this year’s ordinands nationally is 33 with Fr. Henry, who turns 26 shortly, being the youngest nationally.

I was guided by Ines de la Fressange's best seller - "La Parisienne" - in order to come up with a profile that represents best the consume habbits and longing of my clients. The "made in Paris" style, related on the book, is more like a state of spirit that goes beyond the woman that is born in Paris and reaches workaholic and urban women from all over the world. It is an "effortless style" that sums up an elegant woman that demands high quality at fair prices and follows trends with discernment.
