The first unwritten scripture was coded in silence, millions of years ago, before humans arrived on this planet. That continues to be the language of creation. God’s mother tongue must be silence! The word spirituality starts with the word Spirit who communicates through the medium of silence. God is attuned to earless hearing and wordless speaking.
I regard silence held in love as the best prayer ground before God.
The call for 'synodality' is an invitation to re-define who we are. All the roles we play, keep us away from our true selves. Two particular roles have separated 'frattelli tutti' from one another. The deepest and an almost unstoppable gap is created with gender roles.
Knowing that the newly introduced radical idea of synodality, with a hope to sow the seed for a new future, with an undercurrent of ‘Fratelli tutti” would need the right, open, flexible, hopeful and ready to change mindsets.
