Let me begin by offering my apologies for using such a provocative headline. I recently read how "click-bait" articles will use such things as lead ins to increase their exposure and was curious to see how accurate the claim was.
But there is some truth to it. One of the hopes expressed by our Holy Father in planning for the upcoming sixteenth Synod of Bishops was to get a full and unbiased understanding of the Church - and that includes dissenting understandings!
We recently hosted "Spiritual Listening Sessions" here at Visitation and invited all to attend. Our response was light; however, it was evident in the sessions that the Holy Spirit was at work and provided many opportunities to listen and reflect, both for the Facilitators and the participants. Don't let this opportunity for the Holy Spirit to speak to you pass by!
