Thank you, Stefan, for this well-structured overview. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have the international meeting of priests as described in The Record (https://therecord.com.au/news/national/city-and-outback-voices-to-be-heard-at-international-meeting/) followed up with an international meeting of lay people drawn from the communities the priest-delegates represent. In the meantime, may the Holy Spirit continue to inspire and strengthen all who tend the poor and the sick and who act as advocates for the powerless. And may more be drawn into the life of the Church through their good example.

Thanks, Pat. Well, let's start on a small scale with our proposed meeting in Rome during the Second Assembly. Details available soon.
